PGConf.SPB 2023

Recently, one of the most common migration methods has become migration using the free ora2pg tool. However, many note the extremely low performance of this tool, especially when it comes to databases of 1 Terabyte and above. This presentation describes how to significantly speed up database migration using oracle_fdw alone or in combination with ora2pg.

Backup is still a stumbling block when migrating to PostgreSQL from other DBMSs. Its size directly depends on your experience and knowledge about the types of backups in PostgreSQL. In this talk, I will tell you about different types of backups, their pros and cons, and scenarios for using each type.

We'll talk about the tool we created, which monitors changes in the database and creates scripts for migrations of selected objects both interactively and automatically.

I have been working with 1C on PostgreSQL for 6 years, and the DBMS has changed significantly since I started. In this presentation, I'm going to cover the progress it has made. The users will, just as always, claim that this is not enough. So in addition to milestones and achievements, I'll tackle the possible feature requests from the maintenance viewpoint and explain some workarounds.
