Question

The new table in the new database must be updated with any changes to the original table that happen while the migration is in progress. The original table contains a column to store data as large as 2 GB in the form of large binary objects (LOBs). A few records are large in size, but most of the LOB data is smaller than 32 KB. What is the FASTEST way to replicate all the data from the original table?

Options

  • AUse AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with ongoing replication in full LOB mode.
  • BTake a snapshot of the database. Create a new DB instance by using the snapshot.
  • CUse AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with ongoing replication in limited LOB mode.
  • DUse AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with ongoing replication in inline LOB mode.
