Key Features

Data Migration: According to the vendor, the toolkit enables the migration of tables, rows, and columns from one database system to another, supporting popular databases like MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL while prioritizing data integrity.

Schema Migration: The toolkit allows users to transfer database schema, including tables, views, indexes, and constraints, mapping appropriate data types between different systems and providing options for conflict resolution.

Indexes and Constraints: Users can migrate indexes and constraints from the source database to the target database, preserving primary keys, foreign keys, unique constraints, and other constraints to maintain data consistency and integrity.

LOB Data Handling: According to the vendor, the toolkit efficiently handles large object (LOB) data types such as BLOBs, CLOBs, and TEXT fields, supporting LOB data in various databases.

Flexible Mapping: Users can customize the mapping of data types, tables, and columns between different database systems, accommodating complex database structures based on specific requirements.

Batch Migration: The toolkit allows for batch migration of multiple databases or tables simultaneously, saving time and effort by migrating multiple databases in one go. Users can also schedule batch migrations to run at specific times or intervals.

Command Line Support: The command line version of the toolkit enables scripting, automation, and batch processing, allowing users to execute migrations from the command line interface and integrate the migration process into existing workflows or systems.
