I am pleased to announce that OCI Database Migration has added MySQL database support to its easy-to-use and free migration service.  MySQL migrations include automated diagnostics that ensure source and target compatibility and a fully managed online experience for minimal downtime migrations.

The migration process for MySQL mirrors that of Oracle Database migrations, guiding users through a series of structured steps: 

  1. The service begins by introspecting both the source and target databases, identifying any incompatible objects, and providing clear explanations on how to resolve these issues.
  2. The initial data transfer involves moving the selected schema contents from the source to the target database using the MySQL Shell.
  3. For online migrations, where minimal downtime is necessary, ongoing data replication is handled seamlessly and transparently using Oracle GoldenGate. 

Supported MySQL versions include 5.7 and 8.0, and the service accommodates sources from on-premises environments, AWS RDS, and other cloud service providers. The supported target is the Oracle HeatWave MySQL database.   


This update ensures a consistent and user-friendly migration experience, whether migrating from Oracle or MySQL environments while leveraging cloud-native capabilities for efficiency and reliability.
