From Oracle to CockroachDB: Lessons from Real Migrations

Description

From decades-old mainframes to globally distributed cloud apps, many organizations are rethinking Oracle for modern systems that need a resilient, cloud-native, and cost-effective database — without the burdensome compliance regime Oracle subjects its customer to with each ELA renewal. In this webinar, our technical experts (Staff Product Manager Rohan Joshi and Sr. Staff Enterprise Architect Alistair Parry) lead a technical discussion on migrating from Oracle to CockroachDB. You’ll learn: + Which Oracle workloads are a great fit for CockroachDB — and why + How CockroachDB enables resilience against outages, scales effortlessly, and supports multi-cloud deployment + How customers approached replatforming: schema conversion, dealing with Oracle-specific features (like sequences and PL/SQL), and minimizing rewrites + How our Migrate Off Legacy Technologies (MOLT) toolset accelerates migrations with minimal code changes 00:00 Introduction 05:26 Why do organizations migrate from Oracle? 09:24 CockroachDB migration tooling 13:27 Leveraging AI in CockroachDB tooling 19:14 Migration demo & insights 45:37 Q&A
