openDBcopy Core Features

openDBcopy's core can be seen as an application framework providing everything required to run a plugin or a series of plugins, a plugin chain. Configure a database migration job using the openDBcopy graphical user interface. This includes:

• Database Connection Details
• Database catalog/schema, options selection and capturing
• Tables to process, Table Mapping
• Columns to process, Column Mapping, Table specific SQL filters
• Global String filters (such as trim, removal of intermediate whitespaces, ...)
• Saving a job (plugin chain) or single plugin as XML

openDBcopy tries to map tables and columns automatically given its names. To take care of referential integrity constraints let openDBcopy read this extra information.
