How to get your data into CockroachDB serverless
Blog post from Cockroach Labs
Charlie Custer's post provides a comprehensive guide on migrating data into CockroachDB serverless, emphasizing methods for users transitioning from databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL, or using CSV or Avro files. The process involves several key steps, starting with preparing database dump files, followed by importing and converting the schema using CockroachDB's tools. Data importation can be achieved through various methods, including the IMPORT command, AWS DMS, local file importation using the SQL shell, or third-party tools. Users are encouraged to test and update their applications after migration to ensure data integrity and application functionality. The guide also highlights the unique considerations and performance testing required when using distributed SQL databases like CockroachDB, compared to traditional SQL databases.
