Unidac structure borrow - MySQL to SQLite

Hi

I am thinking about buying Unidac.

One very important consideration is being able to create an on-the-fly replication of a MySQL table to an in-memory SQLite table.

IOW, I have my MySQL table in a dataset. I want to be able to create from scratch an SQLite memory table replication of this table without knowing its strcuture and data. This becomes effectively a local cache of the original MySQL table. I have looked at CRBatchmove, but this seems to presume an existing SQLite structure and only moves the data. I want the table creation spec to be driven by the MySQL table I am copying.

Is there an easy answer to do this ?

Kind regards

Jon

Hello,

Creating new tables on-the-fly in one DB on the basic of the meta-data of another DB is impossible due to the DB types mismatch. Therefore you should create the tables structure before the data transfer by yourself

Dataset auto mapping

Thanks AlexP

Yup, what I thought.

Would be an excellent product. On the fly intelligent mapping between datasets.

Will you have it ready by next week ?

Kind regards

Jon

Hello,

For correct transfer of structure and data between different DBs, there are particular foreign products produced, and our data accees components don't include such functionality.
