Phase II: implemented data dumping and loading with multithread mysqldump processes to generate dump files and multithread oracle sqlldr processes to load dump files into two oracle databases, one is three month (online) partitions and the other (archive) holds the rest partitions and converted MySQL medium text data type into oracle CLOB
