How to Migrate Your Data to Timescale (3 Ways)

This article provides three methods for migrating data into Timescale, a PostgreSQL-based database. The first method involves using CSV files to transfer data between databases. The second method utilizes pg_dump and pg_restore tools to create logical backups of the source database and restore them in the target database. The third method is live migration, which uses the pgcopydb tool to automate data transfer and capture ongoing changes from the source database while applying them to the target database. Each method has its own considerations and requirements that need to be addressed for a successful migration.
