MySQL Migration & Synchronization

MySQL is one of the most popular open-source relational database management systems (RDBMS) globally, known for its use in building websites. It is commonly used as a component of the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) stack, as well as its variations, such as WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl) and MAMP (Mac, Apache, MySQL, PHP/Python/Perl). These combinations of platforms are frequently utilized to support and deliver advanced web applications.

MySQL is particularly well-suited for scenarios requiring high-speed reads for web applications, gaming, and situations with medium or small data volumes. Its performance often surpasses that of other database management systems in these contexts.

DBConvert provides software solutions for data migration and replication between the following MySQL wire-compliant RDBMS and popular cloud MySQL database service providers, including:

  • MySQL,
  • MariaDB,
  • SingleStore DB (MemSQL),
  • TiDB,
  • Percona Server for MySQL,
  • Vitess,
  • SkySQL,

and other popular database engines such as MS SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL and more. Our tools facilitate easy, fast, and flexible data transfer between these databases.

It's worth noting that DBConvert's software allows you to configure two MySQL-compliant databases as a source and destination for data movement and synchronization on different platforms, including Linux and Windows.

Mgration between MySQL and other DBMS

Synchronize MySQL database.

To synchronize MySQL databases, you can utilize MySQL DBSync tools. Once you have shifted your source database to the target database, it is essential to keep them synchronized. This can be achieved by checking one database for updates and applying those changes to another. It is common for the source database to continue changing even after the initial migration, resulting in a drift between the source and target databases regarding data and schema.

MySQL DBSync software supports update, insert and drop synchronization, ensuring your source and destination databases stay in sync. DBSync supports synchronization between MySQL databases and other popular cloud services or on-premises database types listed above. Our tools enable you to compare the databases, identify differences, and apply the necessary changes to keep them consistent.

Furthermore, DBSync software offers bidirectional database synchronization between MySQL and other databases. In this scenario, two different databases can simultaneously replicate changes from each other. Bidirectional replication ensures that any modifications made in either database are copied to the other, maintaining synchronization.
