MySQL to PostgreSQL migration.
Move your database to PostgreSQL with schema conversion, automated data checks and a rehearsed cutover.
A MySQL to PostgreSQL migration converts the schema, moves the data, adjusts queries and code that differ between the two systems, and verifies every table before the switch. Rehearsing the move on a copy and keeping the old database as a fallback keeps the risk low.
Sound familiar?
- You need features such as advanced indexing, JSON querying or stronger data integrity.
- Your MySQL version is old or unsupported.
- Reports and queries are getting slower.
- You are standardizing on PostgreSQL elsewhere.
How we handle it.
Four clear steps, with you informed at each one.
Analyze
Review schema, queries, stored logic and data types that differ.
Convert
Translate schema and code, and tune for PostgreSQL.
Rehearse
Migrate a copy, compare row counts and key values, fix differences.
Cut over
Final sync, switch, monitor and keep a rollback path.
Mistakes to avoid.
Assuming SQL is identical
Dates, case sensitivity and auto-increment behave differently.
Skipping validation
Compare data automatically, not by eye.
No rollback plan
Always keep the old database until you are confident.
Common questions.
How long is the downtime?
With replication and a rehearsed plan, downtime can be minutes. We plan it with you.
Will my queries still work?
Most do, but some need changes. We find and test them all.
Is it worth it?
For many products, yes. If MySQL serves you well, we will say so.
