Abstract
Methods and systems for transferring data across incompatible database platforms are provided. A method may include reading data from a database export file containing a representation of objects and data from a source database of a first database platform, where the file was generated by an export utility of the first database platform, has a format specific to the first database platform, and is stored outside of the source database. The data read from the file is parsed based on the format. At least one database table represented in the file is identified based on the parsing. Row-level data associated with the at least one database table is also identified based on the parsing. The row-level data is collected in a buffer and is then inserted into a destination database of a second database platform using at least one dedicated data insertion thread.
