MariaDB to Snowflake Migration
Migrate your MariaDB databases to Snowflake cloud data warehouse for enterprise-grade analytics and unlimited scalability.
Why Migrate from MariaDB to Snowflake?
Petabyte-Scale Analytics
Run complex analytical queries across massive datasets without impacting your production MariaDB workloads.
Zero Infrastructure Management
No more MariaDB tuning, replication lag, or storage upgrades. Snowflake handles all infrastructure.
Pay Per Query
Only pay for compute when running queries. No costs for idle databases sitting unused.
Enterprise Security
SOC 2, HIPAA, and PCI DSS compliance built-in with end-to-end encryption.
MariaDB-Specific Considerations
MariaDB includes features not found in MySQL. Our migration tool handles these automatically:
- Sequences - Converted to Snowflake sequences with matching start/increment values
- System-Versioned Tables - Mapped to Snowflake Time Travel and Streams
- Virtual Columns - Recreated as Snowflake computed columns where supported
- JSON Columns - Native support via Snowflake VARIANT type
Data Type Mappings
| MariaDB Type | Snowflake Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| INT, BIGINT, TINYINT | NUMBER | Direct mapping |
| VARCHAR, TEXT, LONGTEXT | VARCHAR | Up to 16MB |
| DATETIME, TIMESTAMP | TIMESTAMP_NTZ | Nanosecond precision |
| DECIMAL, NUMERIC | NUMBER(p,s) | Precision preserved |
| BOOLEAN | BOOLEAN | Direct mapping |
| JSON, LONGBLOB | VARIANT | Native semi-structured |
| ENUM, SET | VARCHAR | Converted to string |
| UUID | VARCHAR(36) | MariaDB 10.7+ UUID type |
