Migration Options
In this section I will identify some options to migrate applications to Snowflake and later
focus on performance and cost optimization.
Character set conversions require special attention outside of the scope of
this book.
SnowConvert
In January 2023 Snowflake acquired SnowConvert from Mobilize.net, a toolkit for
migrating customer workloads from legacy RDBMS to Snowflake. SnowConvert
automates schema and functional component conversion to Snowflake from a variety of
legacy RDBMSs.
Since the Snowflake acquisition, SnowConvert has become the Snowflake
Professional Services (PS) tool of choice for application migration. Naturally, you do not
have access to SnowConvert directly, but you can find further information at
