I think there is no automated way and in particular no generic way for moving a RDBMS setup to a document database.
Such a step always requires a detailed analysis of your current database and the business requirements for the future.
First question would be: why do you want or need to move away from a RDBMS? As said: when it comes to details, you need
to understand and decide yourself what ArangoDB would bring you, how you would model relations etc.

Hi,
https://www.arangodb.com/why-arangodb/sql-aql-comparison/ has the language comparison AQL <-> SQL.
https://www.arangodb.com/docs/stable/graphs.html explains graphs with a special section for sql.

Please note as AJ suggests that there is no 1:1 conversion from a SQL database to a document store. You usually adjust your data model to remove denormalisations necessary for SQL.

Cheers,
Willi

The reason I choose to migrate is because it is an academic type of activity. I only require information from someone who has already worked on it in this way or some documentation that may be useful to me, I would appreciate it.
