Documentation

Everything you need to know about migrating your databases to Snowflake.

Getting Started

Learn the basics and run your first analysis in minutes.

Database Connections

Configure secure connections to your source and target databases.

Running Migrations

Execute migrations with confidence using our step-by-step guide.

Getting Started

1. Create an Account

Sign up for a free account to get started. No credit card required for the free tier.

2. Create a Project

A project represents a single migration effort. Choose your migration type:

  • MSSQL to Snowflake
  • MySQL to Snowflake
  • PostgreSQL to Snowflake

3. Add Database Connections

Configure your source database connection with host, port, username, and password. We use encrypted connections and never store your data.

4. Run Schema Analysis

Click "Run Analysis" to scan your source database. You'll get a complete inventory of tables, columns, indexes, and potential migration risks.

Database Connections

Supported Databases

Source Databases

  • Microsoft SQL Server (2012+)
  • MySQL (5.7+)
  • PostgreSQL (10+)

Target Database

  • Snowflake (all editions)

Connection Settings

PortDatabase server port3306, 5432, 1433

Security Note

We recommend creating a read-only database user for analysis. Passwords are encrypted at rest and in transit. We never store your actual data—only schema metadata.

Running Migrations

Migration Workflow

1

Analyze Source Schema

Run a full schema analysis to discover tables, relationships, and potential issues.

2

Review Risk Report

Check for data type incompatibilities, missing primary keys, and other migration risks.

3

Generate DDL Scripts

Export Snowflake-compatible CREATE TABLE statements with optimized data types.

4

Create Target Tables

Run the DDL scripts in your Snowflake account to create the target schema.

5

Execute Data Transfer

Start the migration process with progress tracking and error handling.

6

Validate Results

Compare row counts and checksums to ensure data integrity.

Data Type Reference
