Data Transmission Service:Destination database recommendations

Last Updated:Mar 30, 2026

Advanced Database & Application Migration (ADAM) analyzes your source database's compatibility against available destination databases and recommends the most suitable destination database for your workload.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure that you have:

Select a destination database

  1. Log on to the Data Management (DMS) console V5.0.

  2. In the top navigation bar, move the pointer over Data + AI. Choose Heterogeneous Database Migration(ADAM) > Database Evaluation.

  3. Click the Source DB Profile Select Destination DB tab.

  4. In the Source DB Profile step, select the database profile to evaluate, then click Next: Select Destination Database.

  5. On the Compatibility tab, review how your source database maps to each destination database version. The tab shows two compatibility dimensions:

    Note

    To focus the analysis on specific schemas, click Select Schema in the upper-left corner of the Compatibility tab and select the schemas to include. Filtering out irrelevant schemas improves the accuracy of the destination database recommendation.

    DB Object Compatibility

    Metric Description
    Compatibility Compatible objects / total objects. Use this score to compare destination database versions.
    Compatible with ADAM Objects that are directly compatible with the destination database, plus objects that ADAM transforms automatically.
    Incompatible Objects that require manual transformation. ADAM provides comprehensive suggestions on how to transform these objects.

    SQL compatibility

    Metric Description
    Compatibility (Directly compatible SQL + SQL compatible after transformation) / total objects
    Compatible SQL statements that are directly compatible or compatible after transformation
    Compatible After Conversion ADAM provides equivalent SQL for the destination database. You must update the corresponding SQL in your application code.
    Incompatible Incompatible SQL statements.
  6. Click the Type Recommendation tab to view the recommended destination database. Based on the data profile that you select, ADAM intelligently analyzes the scenarios in which the source database is used and the compatibility of the source database with different types of destination databases, then recommends the destination database best suited to your workload:

    Important

    The recommended database varies based on the collected data. The recommendation is only for your reference.

    Estimated source database type Description
    SAMPLE Small or test databases
    OLTP Databases for online transactional processing
    OLAP Databases for online analytical processing
    HTAP Databases for hybrid transaction and analytical processing
