In the above page, can anyone tell me what this sentence means?

"MariaDB works with many clients to migrate Microsoft SQL and Oracle to MariaDB"

Does that mean: The company MariaDB works with lots of customers to migrate their SQL Server database or Oracle database to MariaDB?

The thing is I got it as the above meaning but my co-worker translated it to something like "MariaDB itself is compatible with lots of other computers(or components)...". The word "clients" was quite confusing in this sentence. If it is "customers", it must be clearer

Sorry for the strange question, i'm translating the article to Japanese.

回答1:

Yes it works with lots of clients to migrate from Oracle or MS SQL Server. You can call MariaDB's support to know more about their clients.

MariaDB Database Migration Team

This is pretty common in databases even MySQL has Percona which helps in migrating etc.

Sure, MariaDB will sell you its consulting services for the conversion services. But the statement also means that the "Connect Storage Engine" feature of MariaDB (not MySQL) provides a tool to facilitate the conversion.

MySQL Workbench is another tool for conversion.
