Benefits of Migrating Databases From Oracle To SQL Server

Businesses today are largely data-driven, where massive volumes of data are generated and processed daily. It is therefore essential that there is a cost-effective IT infrastructure that ensures not only data integrity and durability but also stringent data security. As we shall see, all these can be had if databases are migrated from Oracle to SQL Server.  

Benefits of Database Migration From Oracle to SQL Server

Cost-Effective: SQL Server has several versions, from basic to advanced, with different prices. Businesses can buy one as per their need without needing to invest heavily in features that are not required. Oracle, on the other hand, has a single version with high license fees. These cost savings make moving databases from Oracle to Snowflake a very attractive proposition.


Additionally, SQL Server offers 10x data compression facilities. Businesses can store data using a tenth of the normal space required. This reduces usage of data storage volumes and increases optimized utilization of resources for a specific quantum of data.

Easy installation: SQL Server is easy to install with a Setup Wizard that completes the process. All upgrades are downloaded automatically.

Data safety: Access to the SQL Server is strictly monitored through firewalls and access management programs. SQL Server data is encrypted and protected through complex algorithms. 

Data retrieval: Since data is stored with queries being run via files, indexes, and transactions, it is easy to recover data in case of a crash or an outage. Before a transaction is finalized in the SQL Server, log records are noted on a disk, and therefore, when an outage occurs, there is no downtime or break as the transactions help to carry on the work as before.

The Development of the Oracle Change Data Capture Technology

Image
  Oracle CDC ( Change Data Capture) was first launched by the company as a built-in tool in Oracle databases along with its 9i version. It was to record and track changes in the user tables in a database. These changes were stored in change tables to be later processed and transferred to other data warehouses and databases.  The first version of this technology had triggers placed in source databases and was not widely accepted, as it was considered too invasive. Based on this feedback from users, Oracle brought a change to the Oracle CDC , named it Oracle Streams, and released it with the 10g version.   The second version, named Oracle Streams, was more refined and widely accepted. It used the redo logs of the source database in combination with an in-built replication tool of Oracle Streams. Thus, any change was quickly noticed, with the change data being moved to a target data repository without affecting the performance or speed of the source database. What gave this...

How to Optimize Oracle on Amazon S3 Platform

Image
  Oracle is a proprietary relational database management system (RDMS). It is primarily used for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and data warehousing. Most applications, such as GNU/LINUX and Windows Server, merge easily into the database. Oracle is ACID-compliant, which adds an extra layer of security, data integrity, and reliability to the database. Given these attributes, why would organizations want to move databases from Oracle to S3 , the Simple Storage Service from Amazon? Amazon S3 is a cloud-based data warehousing solution that is ideal for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). S3 ensures a high level of data availability, scalability, performance, and storage. There are several ways that S3 increases the efficiency of Oracle databases, with the most important being the lowering of payouts to Oracle. It is also wise to move entire databases from Oracle to S3, given the many benefits that such a move brings to the table. However, whether it suits specific organiz...

An Insight Into Microsoft SQL Server Change Data Capture (CDC)

Image
SQL Server CDC (Change Data Capture) uses SQL Server to make changes like insert, update, and delete. The details of the changes can be accessed in a simple relational format. All inputs to capture the changes to a target ecosystem, like metadata and column information, are available for the modified and changed rows. The changes are captured and stored in tables that mirror the structure of the columns of the tracked stored tables. Necessary table-valued functions control the access to this change data. The SQL Server CDC technology ensures a smooth flow of change data that is structured to help users apply it to various target platforms.   Types of SQL Server Change Data Capture There are two types of SQL Server CDC. Log-based CDC : Here, the transaction log and file of a database are analyzed by the system to know about the changes made at the source. Next, all changes made at the source are replicated to the target database. The main benefit of this form of SQL Server CD...
