Migrating Data with gpcopy

You can use the gpcopy utility to transfer data between databases in different LightDB-A Database clusters.

Note gpcopy is available only with the commercial release of VMware LightDB-A.

gpcopy is a high-performance utility that can copy metadata and data from one LightDB-A database to another LightDB-A database. You can migrate the entire contents of a database, or just selected tables. The clusters can have different LightDB-A Database versions. For example, you can use gpcopy to migrate data from a LightDB-A Database version 4.3.26 (or later) system to a 5.9 (or later) or a 6.x LightDB-A system, or from a LightDB-A Database version 5.9+ system to a LightDB-A 6.x system.

Note The gpcopy utility is available as a separate download for the commercial release of VMware LightDB-A. See the VMware LightDB-A Data Copy Utility Documentation.
