Proven Db2 to PostgreSQL migration – fixed scope, senior engineers
Migrate using a proven fixed-scope process that handles Db2-specific SQL PL, PureXML, and EBCDIC-UTF8 conversion. Senior engineers plan and execute your move in 6-12 months.
The lowest-cost way off IBM Db2: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support IBM Db2 → PostgreSQL after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope migration with senior platform engineers
- ✓Handles Db2 SQL PL and PureXML conversion
- ✓Stay on vendor support during migration – no big-bang
- ✓Third-party support covers legacy if renewal lapses
- ✓Save 40-70% vs vendor support renewals on legacy
Skyrocketing IBM Db2 License Costs
Renewal price hikes and forced ELAs make staying on Db2 unsustainable. You need a cost-effective path to PostgreSQL.
Complex Db2 Dialects and Data
SQL PL stored procedures and PureXML columns require specialized handling. Without deep Db2 expertise, the migration risk is high.
Timeline Pressure Without a Safety Net
Data center closures or cloud mandates demand a move, but you can't risk a disruptive big-bang cutover or paying for a full vendor renewal just to buy time.
IBM Db2 → PostgreSQL migration — your questions answered
How does your Db2 to PostgreSQL migration handle complex SQL PL stored procedures?+
We use a structured two-pass process: first, automated parsing to identify dialect differences, then manual rework by senior engineers who know both Db2 and PostgreSQL. This ensures correct behavior.
Can you migrate Db2 purexml columns to PostgreSQL?+
Yes. We convert PureXML to PostgreSQL JSONB or relational tables, depending on your use case. Our assessment documents each column and recommends the best target structure.
What if our IBM Db2 vendor support renewal lapses during the migration?+
If your renewal lapses, our independent third-party support covers most operational issues on Db2, so you can finish the migration without pressure to pay a full renewal just to keep support.
Do you provide a Db2 to PostgreSQL migration tool or schema conversion?+
We use a combination of proven tools and manual engineering. Our fixed-scope assessment first maps your schema and identifies conversion challenges, then senior engineers execute the migration. We don't rely on a single 'tool' – we apply the right method for your Db2 version and schema complexity.
