How many people are needed to migrate to NonStop SQL?
A SQL-knowledgeable DBA, or equivalent, will be required to design the new SQL database using the Escort file conversion features. A small operations team may be needed to coordinate the database conversion, data loading, testing, and production go-live of the SQL database. Since no application source needs to be modified, or even recompiled, changes to application programs are not required during the database migration. There is no need to dedicate programming resources or disrupt the ongoing business-related development, testing, and installation of updates to the application. As indicated above, you decide just how much reprogramming of the application is required to meet your goals.
