In this post, we show you how to migrate an Oracle database to an HAQM RDS for Oracle DB instance. The solution uses Oracle Data Pump for initial data load and Oracle GoldenGate Microservices Architecture installed on an HAQM Elastic Compute Cloud (HAQM EC2) instance as the Oracle GoldenGate hub for change data capture.

In this post, we discuss how to perform a homogeneous migration from an on-premises Oracle database to HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) for Oracle. For our solution, we use a two-step approach to migrate the source database to HAQM RDS for Oracle. First, we use RMAN to restore the RMAN backup on an EC2 instance, then we use Data Pump to export data to HAQM S3 and restore that in the RDS for Oracle database.

HAQM RDS Proxy is a fully managed, highly available database proxy for HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) and HAQM Aurora that makes applications more scalable, secure, and resilient to database failures. With RDS Proxy, you can handle unpredictable surges in database traffic that might otherwise cause issues due to using all available connections or creating new connections at a fast rate. One of the main benefits of RDS Proxy is that it can improve application recovery time while efficiently and automatically handling database failovers, which is valid with both planned and unplanned failovers. For more details, see Improving application availability with HAQM RDS Proxy. For common use cases where RDS Proxy is beneficial, refer to HAQM RDS Proxy FAQs. In this post, we show how to securely and efficiently connect applications in different AWS accounts to an RDS database instance or Aurora cluster using RDS Proxy, AWS PrivateLink, and Network Load Balancer.

One critical aspect during the migration process from Oracle to PostgreSQL is identifying any semantic issues that may arise when translating Oracle-specific code to PostgreSQL. Although Oracle performs both semantic and syntax checks during code compilation, PostgreSQL focuses solely on syntax checks during code compilation, leaving room for potential semantic discrepancies in the converted code […]

In the first part, we discussed the most common issues that will cause upgrade prechecks from HAQM Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition v2 to v3 to fail. In this post, we discuss the most common causes of prolonged and unsuccessful upgrade. Cluster has XA transactions in the prepared state HAQM Aurora MySQL cancels the upgrade if it […]

HAQM Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition version 2 (with MySQL 5.7 compatibility) is planned to reach the end of standard support on October 31, 2024. The HAQM Aurora MySQL version 2 end of standard support timeline is discussed in our public documentation. We recommend that you upgrade your databases to the default minor version of HAQM Aurora […]

AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) is used for migrating databases to AWS, but you can also use it for replicating data with low latency from a supported source to a supported target. When working with an Oracle Multitenant database, you may be looking for ways to replicate ongoing changes to HAQM Simple Storage Service […]

Customers in industries such as healthcare and financial services take full advantage of the built-in security features of SQL Server to meet their regulatory and compliance requirements. When migrating their database to the AWS Cloud, we often see customers asking for SQL Server security feature support such as TDE, column-level encryption on HAQM Relational Database […]

HAQM Virtual Private Cloud (HAQM VPC) enables you to provision a logically isolated section of the AWS Cloud where AWS resources such as HAQM Relational Database Service (HAQM RDS) Custom DB instances can be launched in a virtual network you define. When creating an HAQM RDS Custom DB instance, you have the option to create […]

HAQM Aurora is a MySQL and PostgreSQL-compatible relational database built for the cloud, that combines the performance and availability of traditional enterprise databases with the simplicity and cost-effectiveness of open-source databases. Global Database is an Aurora feature designed for globally distributed applications, allowing a single HAQM Aurora database to span multiple AWS Regions. A Global […]
