Migrating an On-Premises Oracle Database to Amazon Aurora MySQL

Following, you can find a high-level outline and also a complete step-by-step walkthrough that both show the process for migrating an on-premises Oracle database (the source endpoint) to an Amazon Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition (the target endpoint) using Amazon Database Migration Service (Amazon DMS) and the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool (Amazon SCT).

Amazon DMS migrates your data from your Oracle source into your Aurora MySQL target. Amazon DMS also captures data manipulation language (DML) and data definition language (DDL) changes that happen on your source database and apply these changes to your target database. This way, Amazon DMS helps keep your source and target databases in synch with each other. To facilitate the data migration, DMS creates tables and primary key indexes on the target database if necessary.

However, Amazon DMS doesn’t migrate your secondary indexes, sequences, default values, stored procedures, triggers, synonyms, views and other schema objects not specifically related to data migration. To migrate these objects to your Aurora MySQL target, use the Amazon Schema Conversion Tool.

We highly recommend that you follow along using the Amazon sample database. To find a tutorial that uses the sample database and instructions on how to get a copy of the sample database, see Working with the Sample Database for Migration.

If you’ve used Amazon DMS before or you prefer clicking a mouse to reading, you probably want to work with the high-level outline. If you need the details and want a more measured approach (or run into questions), you probably want the step-by-step guide.

Costs

For this walkthrough, you provision Amazon Database Migration Service (Amazon DMS) resources. You can use a t2.large replication instance with 50 GB of storage to keep your replication logs. Also, you provision an Amazon Aurora MySQL DB instance. You can use a db.r3.large Aurora MySQL DB instance with 10 GB of storage. Provisioning these resources will incur charges to your user by the hour.

To estimate what it will cost to run this walkthrough on Amazon, you can use the Amazon Pricing Calculator. For more information, see https://calculator.aws/ and Database Migration Service pricing.

To avoid additional charges, delete all resources after you complete the walkthrough.
