Migrate data to AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL

Migration type

References

Description

Supported in Serverless mode

Write data

Use INSERT ON CONFLICT to overwrite data

When you execute an INSERT statement to insert a row that contains the same primary key as an existing row, you can execute an INSERT ON CONFLICT statement to update the existing row.

No

Use COPY ON CONFLICT to overwrite data

When you execute a COPY statement to import data, the data that you want to import may conflict with table constraints, and the COPY statement may fail with an error message. To solve this issue, AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL provides the COPY ON CONFLICT statement.

No

Use the Client SDK

AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL provides the Client SDK that allows you to develop your own data write programs or access existing data write programs efficiently. A custom data write program developed by using the Client SDK simplifies the data write process based on mechanisms such as parallel processing and delivers a performance that is multiple times better than COPY and INSERT statements. You do not need to worry about connection pool or cache issues.

Yes

Migrate table data

Use Data Integration to migrate and batch synchronize data

Data Integration is a secure, cost-effective, stable, efficient, and elastic data synchronization platform provided by Alibaba Cloud. It is one of the core features of DataWorks. It supports data migration and synchronization across heterogeneous systems in diverse network environments. For more information, see Supported data source types, Reader plug-ins, and Writer plug-ins.
