MariaDB to Aurora for Pg

Target DataSource：

Aurora for Pg

Connection

Basic Functions

Function	Description
Schema Migration	If the target schema does not exist, BladePipe will automatically generate and execute CREATE statements based on the source metadata and the mapping rule.
Full Data Migration	Migrate data by sequentially scanning data in tables and writing it in batches to the target database.
Incremental Data Sync	Sync of common DML like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE is supported. UPDATE and DELETE for tables without primary keys are not synced by default (manual selection required).
Data Verification and Correction	Verify all existing data. Optionally, you can correct the inconsistent data based on verification results. Scheduled DataTasks are supported. For more information, see Create Verification and Correction DataJob.
Subscription Modification	Add, delete, or modify the subscribed tables with support for historical data migration. For more information, see Modify Subscription.
Position Resetting	Reset positions by file position or timestamp. Allow re-consumption of incremental data logs in a past period or since a specific Binlog file and position.
Table Name Mapping	Support the mapping rules, namely, keeping the name the same as that in Source, converting the text to lowercase, converting the text to uppercase, truncating the name by "_digit" suffix.
DDL Synchronization	ALTER TABLE ADD COLUMN, DROP COLUMN, MODIFY COLUMN, CHANGE COLUMN ADD INDEX RENAME TABLE
Metadata Retrieval	Retrieve the target metadata with filtering conditions or target primary keys set from the source table.

Advanced Functions

Function	Description
Handling of Zero Value for Time	Allow setting zero value for time to different data types to prevent errors when writing to the Target.
Custom Code	For more information, see Custom Code Processing, Debug Custom Code and Logging in Custom Code.
Adding Virtual Columns	Support adding custom virtual columns with fixed values, such as region, ID, etc.
Setting Target Primary Key	Change the primary key to another field to facilitate data aggregation and other operations.
Data Filtering Conditions	Support data filtering using WHERE conditions, with SQL-92 as the SQL language. For more information, see Data Filtering.

Limits

Limit	Description
MySQL Storage Engine	Support InnoDB, MyISAM, AWS XEngine. Other storage engines have not been tested yet.
MySQL Character Set	Support utf8, utf8mb4, latin1. Other encodings have not been tested yet.
Primary Key Conflict Handling	PostgreSQL <= 9.4 or Greenplum <= 6 does not support conflict skipping or replacement. Performance may be affected when there are a large number of primary key conflicts.

Source

Prerequisites

Prerequisite	Description
Permissions for Account	See Permissions Required for MySQL/MariaDB.
Enabling Binlog	[mysqld] log-bin=mysql-bin # Enable Binlog binlog-format=ROW # Choose ROW mode binlog_row_image=FULL # Changes include all column data

Parameters

Parameter	Description
parseBinlogParallel	Number of threads for parallel parsing of Binlog in Incremental DataJobs.
parseBinlogBufferSize	Size of the circular buffer for parsing Binlog in Incremental DataJobs.
maxTransactionSize	Maximum number of data rows per transaction. If exceeded, the transaction will be split and flushed in parts.
limitThroughputMb	Limit the throughput of incremental Binlogs.
extraDDL	Support synchronization of additional DDL, including PT, GHOST, ALI_DMS, and PT_GHOST.
needJsonEscape	Escape special characters in JSON to be written to the target database.
fullDataSqlConditionEnabled	Add filtering conditions in SQL during source data scanning. It only works in Full Data migration.
srcTimeZone	Source time zone, e.g., +08:00, Asia/Shanghai, America/New_York, etc.

Target

Prerequisites

Prerequisite	Description
Permissions for Account	Required permissions include SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and common DDL permissions. For Aliyun AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL, initial accounts or those with SELECT, INSERT, DELETE, UPDATE, and common DDL permissions are needed.
Port Preparation	Allow the migration and sync node (sidecar) to connect to PostgreSQL / Greenplum / AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL / PolarDB for PostgreSQL standard interactive interface (e.g., 5432).

Parameters

Parameter	Description
keyConflictStrategy	Strategy for handling primary key conflicts during write in Incremental DataTask: IGNORE: Ignore conflicts (default) REPLACE: Replace conflicts (optional)
dstWholeReplace	Convert INSERT and UPDATE operations into full row replacement in the Target.
enableTimeZoneProcess	Enable time zone conversion to datetime fields.
timezone	Target time zone, e.g., +08:00, Asia/Shanghai, America/New_York.
defaultZeroDate	Default value for replacing '0000-00-00 00:00:00' / '0000-00-00' values. Optional values include: null (empty) Time (14:23:33) Date (1970-01-01) DateTime (1970-01-01 00:00:00), TimeZone Time (14:23:33+08:00 or 1970-01-01 00:00:00+08:00)
caseSensitive	Case sensitivity strategy for SQL statements, including: UpperCase: Convert to uppercase LowerCase: Convert to lowercase Sensitive: Add qualifiers NoSpecified: No conversion/No qualifiers
writeStrategy	Strategy of writing data to the Target, including: ROW (single row) MULTI_SQL (multiple statements) BATCH (write data in batches, default option) COPY (PostgreSQL COPY command)
defaultGisSRID	Set the SRID for GIS data types.
