To DBA's managing Pervasive and other database engines:
Goldstar Software has begun work on a new data synchronization tool
that will provide the ability to ex****t data records using native
Btrieve calls and dump the data to either UNF or CSV files.
More than just a simple ex****t tool, this tool will also track the data
records extracted and provide for an incremental extract -- resulting
in what would essentially be the first half of a data synchronization
tool. When coupled with the ex****t to CSV, this can then result in a
way to synchronize a Pervasive database with just about any other
database out there.
Upcoming iterations of the synchronization ****tion of this tool will
allow for ex****ting changed data based on our own metadata format,
leveraging the Pervasive DataExchange metadata format (PDC tables), and
possibly leveraging Pervasive Archive Log metadata.
Upcoming iterations of the ex****t ****tion of the tool will allow for
ex****ting to a modified UNF format (containing sync-related data), a
full CSV format, and a proprietary "delta" format for time-dependent
synchronization (i.e. Archive Logs), with the eventual goal of
specifying a target table via ODBC for a direct-to-any-database
replication.
We are looking to start a discussion thread that comments on this
proposed solution, looking for ideas to include in the design, pitfalls
to avoid, and other such comments.
Users with ex****t or synchronization needs who would be willing to test
early versions of the application are also needed.
Feel free to post here or contact me directly.
