We refactored our old database. Some tables were dropped, some tables were split into 2 new tables etc. So now we have an absolutely new DB schema which has many differences from the old one. Someone has written an application which migrates data from the old database to the new one.
I’m looking for methods/techniques to compare correctness of data migration. Is there any standard or often-used ways to accomplish such compare?
After some research, I found one technique how to do it – create a VIEW of each table of the old database i.e. I will try to represent in VIEW data in format of old table (old schema), and then compare data in old table with data in VIEW.
I’m interested in other ways.
