There was a post introducing the migration from Mongo to TiDB before. Is there any update or supplement? Or new migration tools or considerations?

I have seen a Python script that implements the migration from MongoDB to MySQL before. I haven’t tried it, so I’m not sure if it works, but you can refer to it.

Noted, but is it appropriate to migrate Mongo to TiDB? Mongo stores non-relational data, and TiDB’s support for this type of data is generally average…

Yes, the issue with field types is significant, and very few people handle it this way.

I feel it’s safer to find a third-party vendor. It’s fine to migrate a few tables, but migrating the entire business is too risky.

I tried using DataX to transfer data from MongoDB to MySQL. Later, I handed it over to third-party companies like Yingfang and DSG to handle it.
