HexaRocket now supports Oracle to Yugabyte database migrations (October, 2025)

We’re thrilled to announce a major evolution in HexaRocket’s cross-platform migration capabilities, full Oracle to Yugabyte database migration support is now officially available.

Enterprises adopting distributed SQL architectures can now seamlessly migrate from Oracle to YugabyteDB (Distributed PostgreSQL), with automated schema conversion, high-speed data movement, and optional CDC-based continuous synchronization.

As YugabyteDB offers complete compatibility to PostgreSQL, it was very easy to test and adopt YugabyteDB with no modifications to HexaRocket.

This release positions HexaRocket as one of the few platforms globally capable of bridging traditional enterprise databases with modern distributed SQL systems - without manual rewrites or risky one-time migrations.

Why Oracle → Yugabyte Migration Matters

Organizations modernizing to cloud-native architectures increasingly choose YugabyteDB for -

• Horizontal scalability with PostgreSQL compatibility
• Low-latency multi-region deployments
• Resilience and fault tolerance
• Cloud portability and Kubernetes-native operations

However, Oracle → Yugabyte migration is traditionally challenging due to -

• Complex PL/SQL rewrites
• Oracle-specific datatypes and semantics
• Manual ETL pipelines for large datasets
• No unified schema migration + data migration + CDC platform with retry and restart capabilities
• Difficulty keeping both systems in sync during massive data warehouse workloads

HexaRocket now removes these barriers with a fully automated, guided, and rollback-safe migration pipeline.

What’s Included in the New Release

1. Oracle → Yugabyte Schema Migration

• Automatic conversion of Oracle objects to PostgreSQL-compatible YugabyteDB structures
• Intelligent mapping of datatypes, partitions, sequences, triggers, and constraints
• PL/SQL to PL/pgSQL rewrite guidance
• Case-sensitivity and naming rule alignment
• Schema validation with actionable recommendations

HexaRocket ensures Yugabyte receives a clean, optimized, and migration-ready schema.

2. High-Speed Bulk Data Migration

• Parallel, fault-tolerant data loaders optimized for distributed SQL
• Data validation upon data migration and CDC
• Restart-safe workflows with automatic resume
• Efficient handling of multi-terabyte data

Designed to utilize Yugabyte’s distributed architecture for maximum throughput.

3. Optional Real-Time CDC for Zero-Downtime Cutover (Beta)

For enterprises that need continuous sync between Oracle and Yugabyte during testing or phased rollout, HexaRocket offers -

• Oracle redo log-based change capture
• Transactionally consistent streaming
• Low-latency apply into Yugabyte clusters
• Conflict resolution and retry logic

The above features ensure both systems stay aligned until production switch-over is complete.

4. Full UI-Based Operational Control

HexaRocket provides the same intuitive control plane for Oracle → Yugabyte migration -

• Start, Pause, Resume data pipelines
• Table-level migration management
• Real-time progress and lag dashboards
• Parallel worker adjustments and resource tuning
• Health events, warnings, and performance insights

All from a single, unified interface.

Who This Is Designed For

This release is built for -

• Enterprises modernizing legacy Oracle applications to distributed SQL
• Organizations adopting microservices with a PostgreSQL-compatible backend like YugabyteDB
• Teams migrating to YugabyteDB for global availability and resilience
• Businesses with multi-region, multi-cloud, or Kubernetes-first environments
• Companies with strict downtime, rollback, and compliance requirements

Whether it’s a greenfield cloud architecture or a modernization of mission-critical systems, HexaRocket now offers a safe and automated pathway from Oracle to Yugabyte.

Strengthening HexaRocket’s Universal Migration Vision

With this release, HexaRocket expands its supported ecosystem to include modern distributed SQL databases, alongside traditional engines.

Supported as of October 2025:

• Oracle → PostgreSQL (Schema & Data, CDC)
• PostgreSQL → Oracle (Schema & Data Migration, CDC)
• Oracle → Oracle (Data Migration and CDC)
• SQL Server → PostgreSQL (Schema & Data Migration, CDC)
• Oracle → BigQuery (Schema & Data Migration, Batch-based CDC (ETL))

• Oracle → Yugabyte (Schema + Data + Optional CDC)
• Additional connectors underway

HexaRocket continues its mission to unify schema migration, data migration, and real-time CDC replication across all major databases.
