  • Migration Makes My Skin Crawl: From SQL to NoSQL
    May 18 2021

    Is database migration as scary as it sounds? Amy Tom talks to Matt Groves, Senior Product Marketing Manager at Couchbase, and Curt Gratz, Co-Owner of CKH Consulting. Amy, Matt, and Curt talk about migrating from a SQL database to a NoSQL database, the challenges developers face when shit hits the fan, and assessing the use case of your database. Curt is a Couchbase user and is well-versed in database migration; he shares how to avoid disaster migration and what he's learned using a NoSQL database. Matt slams down the expert advice on what "NoSQL" encompasses, and how to convert your data structures.

    In this episode, Amy, Matt, and Curt discuss:

    • What considerations are behind the decision between using a SQL database over a NoSQL database? (05:05)
    • When is NoSQL an inappropriate solution? Matt says it depends on the amount of data and your need for adaptation/personalization (06:42)
    • What are the challenges facing developers moving from SQL to NoSQL? (08:48)
    • What the heck is ETL? Curt explains that "ETL-ing data" means transforming your data from one place to another (10:10)
    • Can we automatically convert the contents of a SQL Server database to a NoSQL database? Matt talks about his automatic translation project that lifts and shifts data into Couchbase (11:30)
    • What data structures need to be converted when migrating from SQL to NoSQL? (13:12)
    • If NoSQL is schema-less, do the schemas also migrate over? Long story short, Matt says to think of NoSQL as "schema flexible" instead of "schema-less" (15:57)
    • What's the deal with stored procedures and how does that impact NoSQL database operations? (17:30)
    • What about ACID and atomic operations when migrating to NoSQL? (20:46)
    • What happens when shit hits the fan in the migration process? Can you lose your whole database? Curt talks about disaster migration scenarios and how to solve them (23:07)
    • What about the process of migrating from one NoSQL database to another? (29:05)
    • What is Curt and Matt's advice to first-time migrators? Curt says to ask yourself, "why am I migrating?", and Matt says to expect things to go wrong (30:52)
