How to migrate from Oracle RDB for OpenVMS to MySQL in Windows?


I have a legacy Alpha server with a RDB database. This db is replicated in a MySQL db with many bad php scripts that drops all the tables and takes everything from the Alpha.

This works very slow and is becoming unmaintainable. Is there a better way to fix this than programming again the scripts? Anything like MySQL Migration Toolkit?


Solution

  • MySQL has been ported to OpenVMS/Alpha. If you could migrate your applications to use MySQL on the Alpha, then you could use MySQL's built-in replication.
