We're glad to introduce a new migration path from Sybase ASE to the modern distributed SQL database, CockroachDB. This enhancement will empower businesses to move their legacy Sybase databases to a cloud-native architecture with greater efficiency and reduced risk.

Migrating from a traditional system like Sybase ASE to a distributed database like CockroachDB requires schema restructuring, complex business logic conversion, and ensuring data integrity. The latest version of Ispirer SQLWays can now address and automate these complexities.

Key enhancements for the Sybase ASE to CockroachDB migration include:

  • Comprehensive schema & data conversion: Full support for converting User-Defined Types (UDTs) and corrected data mapping for TIMESTAMP columns.
  • Advanced business logic migration: Improved conversion of triggers, including those with and without joins, involving inserted/deleted tables.
  • Efficient data loading: The tool utilizes an updated data import command optimized for CockroachDB, so you have a swift and accurate data transfer.
  • Identity column handling: SQLWays now correctly converts identity columns using BY DEFAULT/ALWAYS options.

This new migration direction is now available in the latest release of Ispirer SQLWays.
