Steps for Redshift to Autonomous Data Warehouse Migration

Capture

In this step, metadata schemas and tables are captured from source DB and stored in Migration Repository.

Convert

Here, Redshift datatypes are mapped to Oracle datatypes. The Column Defaults using Redshift functions are replaced by their Oracle equivalents.

Generate

Now, schemas & DDLs are generated based on the converted metadata.

Deploy

Here, those schemas and DDLs are deployed.

Copy Data

In this last step, data is uploaded from Redshift tables to Amazon Storage S3 & then copied to ADW schemas from Amazon Storage.

From self-securing database, cloud services, and to the new cloud perimeter, Oracle technology protects your most valuable investment i.e. your data. Since, ADW eliminates the need of DBA access, root access, Operating System access and others, the error caused due to human intervention will be eliminated. Oracle automatically applies all security updates/patches to ensure data is not vulnerable to known attack vectors.
