Why Do I Need to Use the pg_dump for Migration?

The tool is easy to use for data migration. However, when you use this tool, the server is stopped for a long period of time during data migration. Only use this tool when there is not much data to migrate or if stopping the server for a long period of time is not an issue.

RDS is compatible with source database services. The procedure for migrating data from your database to RDS is similar to the procedure for migrating data from one database server to another.

For details about how to use pg_dump to migrate data, see Migrating Data to RDS for PostgreSQL Using psql.
