After a large data migration, what needs to be checked to be confident that the data move has succeeded?

  • the number of tables and rows in each schema is the same.
  • the text data in the tables has not been corrupted. This is important if non alphanumeric characters (such as double byte) are used.
  • the dumps or other files that have been been transferred have the same checksum.

Is there anything else that can be checked?
