# Schema conversion residue

Use with [What schema conversion will not rewrite](https://www.bravelo.co/blog/schema-conversion-residue-stored-procedures-orm/). Read the DMS Schema Conversion assessment as four buckets. Checked 4 October 2026.

| Bucket | Count | Staffed before cutover? |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto-converted | | |
| Converted with warnings | | |
| Will not convert (procedures, triggers, jobs) | | |
| SQL that lives in the application or ORM, not in the database | | |

Staff the third and fourth buckets before cutover. The first bucket is not the project.

## Stop

- Treating a connection-string change as the application plan.
- Starting cutover while "will not convert" is still an unread PDF.
