Program Overview: What is Enterprise Database Migration?
Enterprise Database Migration is a 24-hour program for database engineers, DBAs, and migration leads who must move production databases without breaking the business. It covers migration discovery, schema conversion and data mapping, extraction and loading, application migration, and cutover and rollback planning. Participants migrate realistic workloads, not slide decks.
Training is built around migration labs across six modules. After short concept sessions, teams assess a legacy database, convert its schema, move its data, and reconnect applications in guided exercises that mirror real migration tooling. Instructors who have led enterprise migrations review every plan across six practice sessions. Coaching targets the risks that kill migrations: missed dependencies, untested cutovers, and rollback plans that exist only as hope.
Database migrations fail for familiar reasons: discovered-too-late dependencies, data nobody mapped, and cutover weekends that stretch into weeks. The program teaches teams to migrate as a discipline: discover everything, rehearse the cutover, and own the rollback. Migrations become controlled engineering instead of corporate roulette.
The capstone is a full end-to-end migration project: teams take a legacy database through discovery, schema conversion, data movement, application cutover, and rollback rehearsal, then present the plan as they would to business owners. Instructors hunt for the gaps that cause real outages, from untested dependencies to optimistic downtime estimates. Teams finish with a migration runbook they trust and the confidence to lead the next one.
The program covers the full migration lifecycle: assessing estates, choosing migration strategies, converting schemas and code, building extraction and load pipelines, repointing applications, and executing cutovers with rehearsal and rollback readiness. Your team practices with realistic sandboxes, reconciles every row, and defends a capstone migration project to reviewers. Labs are tuned to your source and target engines, so the work your team does in training mirrors the migrations they will run in production. By the end, your team can run migrations with structured runbooks, validated data, and controlled downtime.

Enterprise Database Migration Course Topics and Program Outline
A hands-on curriculum that takes your team from migration planning to a complete production-style cutover.
Built by Edstellar migration practitioners
Built by practitioners who plan and execute enterprise database migrations in production, shaped around your stack and use cases.
We review your team's database skills and estate with a short skills check so labs match your starting point.
Instructor-led sessions build the migration strategy, conversion, and data movement concepts your team will use.
Guided hands-on labs let your team convert schemas, move data, and rehearse cutovers in safe sandboxes.
A capstone migration has your team execute a full cutover and defend the validation evidence to reviewers.
Your team plans, executes, and validates a full migration in 24 hours of guided practice.

Where this Training Fits in Your Team's learning path.
Database migration sits right after Oracle administration because your team must know the source system well before moving it. Change data capture with GoldenGate then keeps systems in sync during cutover, and cloud modernisation is where the migrated estate ends up.
