I think we practiced a similar question where Dataflow was mentioned, but I’m not confident it supports CDC as well as the other options.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like using native export and import could lead to more downtime, which we want to avoid.

I remember we discussed the importance of minimizing downtime during migrations, so I think Database Migration Service might be the best option here.

Dataflow could be an interesting option, but I'm not sure if it has the same level of database migration capabilities as the dedicated Database Migration Service.

I'm a bit confused by the database links approach. That doesn't seem like it would provide the seamless migration they're looking for.

Hmm, the native export and import functionality might not work since it doesn't mention supporting CDC. I'll have to think this through.

Hmm, this looks straightforward. I think I can use the LOWER() and LEFT() functions to get the first initial, then concatenate that with the last name and the email domain.
