XML ENABLED CROSS DATA MIGRATION

About Data Synchronization

Database Synchronization possesses a rich set of various features and the components
allowing precisely, quickly and, at last, elegantly making comparison, synchronization and
migration of all components of heterogeneous databases. Database Synchronizer -it is the unique
program tool allowing to work with heterogeneous databases both at a simple user level, and at
professional DBA level or software developer level. The product has been tested in work with
many various database types:
• ORACLE
• MS SQL Server
• MySQL
• MS Access
and many others

Database Comparison.
This is basic, main feature of the program. The comparison objects are table structures,

field and their properties, indexes, primary keys and the stored data. The convenient and intuitive

user interface allows creating and adjusting comparison strategy of any complexity level.

Comparison result is the detailed report, shown on special screen form or saved into XML

/HTML file. New product version includes a lot of changes and additions both to interface of

comparison strategy adjustments , and in comparison mechanism. For example, numeric or

datetime values are being compared by value, unlike previous version which was comparing such

values by representation. The new product version works with all data types, including LONG

types, BINARY types and UNICODE types. New comparison wizard allows to compare not only

separate tables but also table packages adjusted by user. Moreover, in the new version the user

can create the package comparison, taking into account different names of the tables and

characteristic of the data.

Database Synchronization.
Inasmuch as result of databases comparison are the exact reports which allow to clarify
quantity and quality of differences in elements of databases, the next logic step - synchronization
of the these elements and stored data. The new version the has additional synchronization
features: synchronization of fields properties, structures of the tables, primary keys and indexes.
Except for synchronization of whole records, the possibility of “thin” or detailed synchronization
has appeared. This feature allows to carry out more “intellectual” synchronization of separate
fields of the records in which the differences were found. The synchronization of the data works
successfully both with ordinary data types, and with binary fields. As this program is able to work
practically with any database, the users can easily and precisely synchronize heterogeneous
databases.

Data and structure migration:

The export of structures and data of the tables from one database in another is one more
powerful feature with which this product is equipped. This feature allows to make migration of
the tables structure and data from one database for another. The data migration supports all SQL
types, including UNICODE types and BINARY types and provides smart porting of the data
between heterogeneous databases. While exporting of the data it analyzes format of the exported
data and transforms them (by necessity and if it is possible) into format of the target table. Using
Export wizard the user can adjust and execute export of tables group. Export wizard provides
possibility to adjust export strategy separately for each exported table. At any stage of export
operation the user can stop the operation. User, which has a local database MS Access can fast
and qualitatively export the tables and data into MySQL. Other example: you need to fill in your
tables by the data stored in ordinary TXT files. Database Migration feature can cope with this task
successfully.
The convenient and clear interface allows to create the complex strategy of migration of
the information with a choice of the tables, fields and other objects database. The results of
migration are reflected in the detailed HTML report.
EXISTING SYSTEM:
Some database clients already provide synchronization; Oracle & Informix are some
clients who provide synchronization.
The drawbacks with the existing system are that the synchronization can only happen
between one types of database their corresponding database server. There type of synchronization
will help if and only if the database servers are same. In a distributed system may not be possible.
Another drawback is that the cost of installing oracle or information in all the clients of
an Enterprise is not an optimal solution. Currently, analysts compare the tables in the databases
manually. A skilled analyst would take about 10 to 30 minutes to find a difference between two
equal, at first sight, tables. If you have many tables with tens or even hundreds of fields each, this
will be a very hard and long work. The whole process involves gathering and maintenance of
huge amount of information manually. The proposed systems will ensure to reduce these
drawbacks.

LIMITATIONS

The following are the limitations of the existing system.

• Maintenance of information is done manually
• Data collection is not uniform and is stored in different forms
• Locating the appropriate server and client profile and updating it whenever required
becomes cumbersome.
• Critical processes like insertion or deletion is very difficult and error-prone process as
there is no assurance that all the associated data are duly updated.
• Enforcement of data integrity not possible.
• Unavailable of prominent security measures for data collection.

PROPOSED SYSTEM:
 The proposed system is responsible for reducing the drawbacks and the cost in the existing
system . the proposed system reduce the drawbacks by applying the synchronization concept
between different database servers. The proposed system will synchronize the tables between
different database servers. so the problem of applying synchronization in enterprise application is
reduced.
The proposed system reduce the cost of installation of oracle or Informix by installation of
low cost database servers.
