Upgrade Your Database to the Cloud

You can migrate your on-premises Oracle Database to Oracle Database Cloud using a variety of methods and tools. Not all migration methods apply to every migration scenario. Some of the characteristics and factors to consider when choosing a migration method include the Oracle Database version used on premises and in the cloud; the on-premises host operating system and version; database character set; quantity of data, including indexes; data types used; any storage for data staging; acceptable length of system outage; and network bandwidth. Use this information as your guide to see which migration methods apply to your specific migration container or non-container database (CDB or non-CDB) scenario.
