📋 MIGRATION STRATEGY & IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

Phase 1: Pre-Migration Assessment (1 day)

# Database compatibility verification
1. Schema compatibility check
2. Data integrity validation
3. Performance baseline establishment
4. Backup and rollback procedures
5. Downtime window planning

Phase 2: Migration Execution (2-4 hours)

-- Step 1: Full database backup
mysqldump --single-transaction --routines --triggers desk_descomplicar_pt > backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql

-- Step 2: Install MariaDB 11.4 LTS
-- (System-specific installation commands)

-- Step 3: Import data to MariaDB
mysql -u root -p desk_descomplicar_pt < backup_$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).sql

-- Step 4: Verify data integrity
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbldeskmoloni_mapping;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbldeskmoloni_sync_queue;
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbldeskmoloni_sync_log;

-- Step 5: Performance optimization for MariaDB
OPTIMIZE TABLE tbldeskmoloni_mapping;
OPTIMIZE TABLE tbldeskmoloni_sync_queue;
OPTIMIZE TABLE tbldeskmoloni_sync_log;

Phase 3: Performance Validation (1 day)

// Performance testing suite
class MariaDBMigrationValidator {
    public function validatePerformance() {
        $tests = [
            'insert_performance' => $this->testInsertOperations(100),

Rollback Strategy (Safety First - Sacred Rule 5)

-- Emergency rollback procedure
-- 1. Stop application services
sudo systemctl stop apache2

-- 2. Restore MySQL backup
mysql -u root -p -e "DROP DATABASE desk_descomplicar_pt;"
mysql -u root -p -e "CREATE DATABASE desk_descomplicar_pt;"
mysql -u root -p desk_descomplicar_pt < backup_pre_migration.sql

-- 3. Restart services
sudo systemctl start apache2

-- 4. Verify restoration
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tbldeskmoloni_mapping;
