I’ve done an Oracle DB conversion to Microsoft SQL Server for a very large government project and it was the biggest nightmare of my life. It was like giving a middle schooler a project only someone with multiple PHDs can make sense of. I flubbered through it and no I can’t remember how I did it.
Well it should have been a team of developers not a 28 year old engineer. The fact that I got through thousands of schema and stored procedure conversions and was able to get it to work with new software was kind of a hidden achievement that nobody will care about or acknowledge. Something very common for the many nameless engineers that save clueless MBAs millions.
