Database.com Questions

Hi All

 

I am new to the world of Cloud Computing and Databse.com.

 

I have a few questions on Database.com :

 

1. I have a MySQL database, can this be 'converted' to a Database.com database ?  If no, is it a total re-write ?  if yes, what is the process ?

 

2. What skills should I be seeking in a developer to allow me to use Database.com ?

 

3. Can a MySQL 'type' developer / database architect migrate to Database.com quickly and easily ?

 

4.  Where can I find Database.com developers ?

 

Thank you.

It means you have to create objects and fields manually in database.com ,then you can import your data into this object.

1. You cannot convert the database. You can however create the schema in database.com and migrate your data using ETL tools.

2. You can find database.com developers in this community as well.

Hi

 

Thanks for your response.

 

To be clear, I need to develop an entire database from grounf up in Database.com ?

 

Can you expand on what "create a schema" actually means in practice ?

 

Thank you.
