Providing Database Migration Tools: A Practitioner's View

Summary: Three migration strategies for legacy-to-next-gen DBs: data/code conversion, language transformation, and data propagation across systems. Key challenges: target choice, data transfer with minimal downtime, and seamless app migration; aims to cut licenses and enable a homogeneous environment while guiding practitioners and spurring academic research.
