Generally Available: Support for time-series databases in the migration service for Azure Database for PostgreSQL
You can now use the migration service in Azure Database for PostgreSQL to easily migrate time-series databases—without dropping the extension. With the click of a button, you can use the Migration tab on the Flexible Server portal page or go through the Azure CLI.
This new capability replaces the slow, tedious processes required previously—using pg_dump and pg_restore, or dropping the TimescaleDB extension, then recreating it after migration.
