I’m transitioning from a SQL Server database to MongoDB for a new project that requires schema flexibility and scalability. My application is built with Node.js and TypeScript.
The SQL Server database contains:
- Relational tables with complex relationships.
- Large datasets that need efficient transfer.
Here’s what I’m looking for:
- Recommendations for libraries or tools to handle the data migration (e.g.,
mssqlfor SQL Server andmongoosefor MongoDB, or ETL tools). - Best practices for mapping relational tables and relationships (e.g., joins, foreign keys) to MongoDB’s document-based schema.
- Strategies for optimizing performance during migration, especially for handling large volumes of data.
- Common challenges when migrating from a relational database to a NoSQL database and how to overcome them.
If anyone has scripts, examples, or links to relevant documentation/tutorials, that would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you for your help
