While both databases are powerful and widely adopted, their differences in architecture, data types, indexing, and SQL syntax can lead to unexpected errors, performance bottlenecks, and costly re-engineering. Without a clear roadmap, migration becomes a minefield.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0in; line-height: normal;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-ascii-font-family: Aptos; mso-fareast-font-family: Aptos; mso-hansi-font-family: Aptos; mso-bidi-font-family: Aptos; color: black; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;\"\u003eThis book is your practical guide to navigating those migration challenges with confidence.
