Limitations when using Azure MySQL as a source for AWS Database Migration Service

  • The defaut value for the Azure MySQL flexible server system variable sql_generate_invisible_primary_key is ON, and the server automatically adds a generated invisible primary key (GIPK) to any table that is created without an explicit primary key.
