SAP Sybase IQ → PostgreSQL migration — your questions answered
How do you migrate Sybase IQ to PostgreSQL without losing query performance?+
We use automated tools to convert Watcom SQL to PL/pgSQL and optimize columnar storage using PostgreSQL partitions or Citus. Our senior DBAs tune indexes and query plans to match or exceed your current performance.
What about Sybase IQ's block loading utilities like dbload?+
We replace dbload and bcp with PostgreSQL's COPY command and ETL pipeline recommendations. Your data loading processes are migrated as part of the fixed-scope project.
How long does a Sybase IQ to Postgres conversion typically take?+
Most projects run 6–10 months with 2–5 of our senior consultants. The timeline depends on code complexity and data volume.
Do you provide support after migrating Sybase IQ to PostgreSQL?+
Yes. After migration, we offer 24/7 PostgreSQL DBA support, performance tuning, and replication monitoring at 40–70% less than vendor support renewals.
