[All AWS Certified Database - Specialty Questions]

A database specialist needs to move a table from a database that is running on an Amazon Aurora PostgreSQL DB cluster into a new and distinct database cluster. 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?

  • A. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with ongoing replication in full LOB mode.
  • B. Take a snapshot of the database. Create a new DB instance by using the snapshot.
  • C. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with ongoing replication in limited LOB mode.
  • D. Use AWS Database Migration Service (AWS DMS) with ongoing replication in inline LOB mode.

I think D. Inline LOB mode – In inline LOB mode, you set the maximum LOB size that DMS transfers inline. LOBs smaller than the specified size are transferred inline. LOBs larger than the specified size are replicated using full LOB mode. You can select this option to replicate both small and large LOBs when most of the LOBs are small. DMS doesn’t support inline LOB mode for endpoints that don’t support Full LOB mode, like S3 and Redshift. https://docs.aws.amazon.com/dms/latest/userguide/CHAP_Tasks.LOBSupport.html

Answer is D. Set InlineLobMaxSize to 32KB to migrate the small documents fast.

Full LOB Mode - Full LOB mode can be quite slow, Limited LOB Mode- LOBs that exceed the maximum LOB size are truncated, and a warning is issued to the log file Inline LOB mode - LOBs larger than the specified size are replicated using full LOB mode.

The fastest will always be LIMITED, but we loose data. Also, INLINE is only supported during full load (not CDC), so if the ongoing replication means only CDC can be an indicator to choose LIMITED.

Actually I'm chaning to inline. The question says all data, so cannot be limited. Also, as marll88 shows, when the most of the LOBs are small it makes sense to use INLINE.
