IBM IBM Db2 to PlanetScale Integration

How Datrise loads IBM IBM Db2 into PlanetScale

Datrise syncs IBM IBM Db2's tables, rows, schemas, indexes, primary keys, and change data into PlanetScale as a typed table per source entity. Flexible or custom fields land in JSON columns, and timestamps such as created, updated, and status changes are typed as DATETIME.

Sync is incremental: Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE, so re-runs update only what changed. Vitess sharding by tenant or entity key for very large tables. PlanetScale disallows foreign-key constraints by default, so Datrise models relationships by stable id columns rather than enforced FKs.

Ideal for horizontally scalable MySQL apps on Vitess.

FAQ

How does Datrise handle IBM IBM Db2's custom fields in PlanetScale?

Flexible values are stored as JSON columns, so new fields don't require a migration; strongly-typed fields — dates, numbers, and references — are promoted to native PlanetScale types.

How does the IBM IBM Db2 to PlanetScale sync stay up to date?

It runs incrementally — Datrise uses a watermark on updated-at, applied with INSERT … ON DUPLICATE KEY UPDATE.
