Migrating data from Oracle to MariaDB

This guide will show you how to easily migrate data from Oracle to MariaDB through a few simple steps with ESF Database Migration Toolkit, simplifying the complex migration processes and saving you valuable time.

Oracle vs. MariaDB:

  • Oracle is a leading multinational computer technology corporation specializing in database management systems. Renowned for its robust and scalable database solutions, Oracle offers a comprehensive suite of products encompassing database technologies, cloud applications, and enterprise software. With a global presence and a reputation for innovation, Oracle serves diverse industries including finance, healthcare, retail, and manufacturing, empowering organizations to manage, secure, and analyze their data efficiently to drive business success.
  • MariaDB is a powerful open-source relational database management system (RDBMS) that originated as a fork of MySQL. It was developed by the original creators of MySQL in response to concerns over its acquisition by Oracle Corporation. MariaDB retains compatibility with MySQL while offering additional features, improved performance, and enhanced security. It is widely used in various applications ranging from small-scale web databases to large-scale enterprise systems, thanks to its flexibility, scalability, and active community support.
