How to Migrate from Microsoft SQL Server to PostgreSQL

Skippr is the easiest way to migrate from MSSQL to PostgreSQL and get fully cleansed and modeled data in one run command.

Source: MSSQL. Destination: PostgreSQL.

Sample config

yaml
skippr:
  workspace: mssql_to_postgres
pipelines:
  mssql_to_postgres:
    data_source: data_sources.source
    data_sink: data_sinks.warehouse
data_sources:
  source:
    Mssql:
      connection_string: "${MSSQL_CONNECTION_STRING}"
data_sinks:
  warehouse:
    Postgres:
      host: localhost
      port: 5432
      user: ${POSTGRES_USER}
      password: ${POSTGRES_PASSWORD}
      database: analytics
      schema: public

Environment

bash
export POSTGRES_HOST="localhost"
export POSTGRES_USER="myuser"
export POSTGRES_PASSWORD="mypassword"
export MSSQL_CONNECTION_STRING="server=tcp:127.0.0.1,1433;database=testdb;user id=sa;password=YourPass;TrustServerCertificate=true"

Source connector: mssql. Destination connector: postgres-warehouse.
