As any good consulting company learns to say early - it depends!  A straight-forward "lift and shift" is relatively easy: 1. Reverse Engineer DDL from legacy system. 2. Convert DDL into the target DB syntax (don't worry, we use tools such as erwin Data Modeler).  3. Run DDL within the new cloud database platform.  4.  Export data from source database 5.  Import data into target database.
