Migration from MariaDB database To PostgreSQL

danger

This guide contains a possible free migration solution. It can be used to be the base of your migration script, but it is not guaranteed to work in all cases, since we only tested in our test environment. Nevis can not guarantee that it does not cause data loss or corruption. Verification of all data's successful migration is the responsibility of the customer.

Preparation

To migrate the MariaDB database to PostgreSQL, you need to prepare the following:

  • A freshly deployed nevisIDM database schema on PostgreSQL with the same schema version as the mariaDB. The contents of the schema will be removed during migration. For installation steps visit Database Preparing
  • An installed pgloader tool.

Migration

Steps

  1. Stop the nevisIDM service.
  2. Create idm_tables.lisp and idm_history_tables.lisp configuration files (as described below in teh Configuration section).
    Configuration

    Change the database connection string in the idm_tables.lisp and idm_history_tables.lisp files to point to the MariaDB database. Change the schema name in the ALTER SCHEMA command to match the schema name of the nevisIDM database.

  3. Run the pgloader tool with the idm_tables.lisp configuration file to migrate the non-historical tables.
pgloader idm_tables.lisp
  1. Run the pgloader tool with the idm_history_tables.lisp configuration file to migrate the historical tables.
pgloader idm_history_tables.lisp
  1. Change the database connection string in the nevisidm-prod.properties file to point to the PostgreSQL database.
  2. Restart the nevisIDM service.

Configuration

idm_tables.lisp

The following configuration file is used to map the MariaDB non-historical idm tables to PostgreSQL tables. The file is used by the pgloader tool to migrate the data from MariaDB to PostgreSQL. Changing values of the LOAD DATABASE and INTO commands is required to match the MariaDB and PostgreSQL connection strings respectively. Also changing of ALTER SCHEMA is required to match the schema name of the nevisIDM database.
