Trust our proven process for SQL Server to CockroachDB migrations.
Yes, migrating from Microsoft SQL Server to CockroachDB is a well-understood project. Our senior engineers execute fixed-scope migrations, redesigning indexing for multi-region write performance.
The lowest-cost way off Microsoft SQL Server: our migration tooling automates the repetitive work —you pay senior engineers for judgment, not keystrokes.
How we support Microsoft SQL Server → CockroachDB after migration
- ✓Fixed-scope migration projects with senior engineers.
- ✓Redesign schema indexing for multi-region write performance.
- ✓Save 40-70% on legacy platform support while you migrate.
- ✓24/7 US-based support for your distributed database.
- ✓Post-migration distributed operations support and query tuning.
Scale-out limitations
Single-node SQL Server scale-out limits your growth.
Disaster recovery complexity
Windows Server Failover Clustering complicates disaster recovery.
Non-distributed code assumptions
Legacy code assumptions about distributed transactions cause migration delays.
Microsoft SQL Server → CockroachDB migration — your questions answered
Can we keep our SQL Server vendor support during the migration?+
Yes. Your existing vendor contract remains active. You migrate on your timeline. If your renewal lapses, our third-party support covers most operational issues.
What about CLR stored procedures and custom DLLs?+
CLR routines and custom DLLs need re-engineering. We'll assess dependencies and plan alternatives.
How do you handle non-distributed database assumptions in our code?+
We audit your application code for single-node assumptions and redesign queries for CockroachDB's distributed architecture.
What is the typical project timeline and budget?+
6-12 months, with 3-5 senior consultants. Fixed-scope budgets range from $150,000 to $800,000.
