The text outlines a process for transferring data from a SQL database, specifically Postgres, to a Couchbase database using Java and Spring Boot. It details setting up a JDBC connection with the necessary dependencies and configurations for accessing the SQL database and retrieving its schema using DatabaseMetaData. The process involves converting each table row into a JSON document, which is then stored in Couchbase. This transformation is facilitated by a custom RowMapper that maps SQL data types to JSON-compatible types. The guide also covers configuring Couchbase connections, including setting up hostnames, bucket names, and passwords, and it provides both synchronous and asynchronous methods for importing data into Couchbase. The text concludes by packaging these steps into a single project, emphasizing the importance of proper configuration and highlighting future work on transferring SQL business logic to the application layer.
