CockroachDB Migrations

MOLT Migration Toolkit

The MOLT (Migrate Off Legacy Technology) toolkit enables simple, safe, minimal-downtime database migrations to CockroachDB. MOLT combines schema transformation, distributed data load, continuous replication, and row-level validation into a highly configurable workflow that adapts to diverse production environments.

Migrations with MOLT are resilient, restartable, and scalable to large data sets.

The MOLT Convert converts a source database schema to a CockroachDB-compatible schema.

Supports schema conversion from PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server.

MOLT Fetch

MOLT Fetch performs the core data migration to CockroachDB via cloud storage, local file servers, or direct copy.

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle dialects.

MOLT Verify

MOLT Verify checks for data and schema discrepancies between the source database and CockroachDB.

Supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, and Oracle.
