JMyETL, an easy to use ETL tool that supports 10 different RDBMS by Esen Sagynov.

From the post:

JMyETL is a very useful and simple Java based application for Windows OS which allows users to import and export data from/to various database systems. For example:

  • CUBRID –> Sybase ASE, Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, Access, SQLite
  • MySQL –> Sybase ASE/ASA, Oracle, Access, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • Sybase ASE –> Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, Access, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • Sybase ASA –> Sybase ASE, MySQL, Oracle, Access, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • Oracle –> Sybase ASA, Sybase ASE, MySQL, Access, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • Access –> Sybase ASE, Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • PostgreSQL –> Sybase ASE, Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, Access, SQL Server, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • SQL Server –> Sybase ASE, Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, Access, DB2, SQLite, CUBRID
  • DB2 –> Sybase ASE, Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Access, SQLite, CUBRID
  • SQLite –> Sybase ASE, Sybase ASA, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, DB2, Access, CUBRID

Just in case you need a database to database ETL utility.

I first saw this at DZone.

CUBRID

Filed under: CUBRID,NoSQL,Sharding — Patrick Durusau @ 2:41 pm

I stumbled upon CUBRID via its Important Facts to Know about CUBRID page, where the first entry reads:

Naming Conventions:

The name of this DBMS is CUBRID, written in capital letters, and not Cubrid. We would appreciate much if you followed this naming conventions. It should be fairly simple to remember, itsn’t it!?

Got my attention!

Not for a lack of projects with “attitude” on the Net but a project with “attitude” that expressed it cleverly. Not just offensively.

Features of CUBRID:

Here are the key features that make CUBRID the most optimized open source database management system:

First time I have seen CUBRID.

Does promise a release supporting sharding in June 2012.

The documentation posits extensions to the relational data model:

Extending the Relational Data Model

Collection

For the relational data model, it is not allowed that a single column has multiple values. In CUBRID, however, you can create a column with several values. For this purpose, collection data types are provided in CUBRID. The collection data type is mainly divided into SET, MULTISET and LIST; the types are distinguished by duplicated availability and order.

  • SET : A collection type that does not allow the duplication of elements. Elements are stored without duplication after being sorted regardless of their order of entry.
  • MULTISET : A collection type that allows the duplication of elements. The order of entry is not considered.
  • LIST : A collection type that allows the duplication of elements. Unlike with SET and MULTISET, the order of entry is maintained.

Inheritance

Inheritance is a concept to reuse columns and methods of a parent table in those of child tables. CUBRID supports reusability through inheritance. By using inheritance provided by CUBRID, you can create a parent table with some common columns and then create child tables inherited from the parent table with some unique columns added. In this way, you can create a database model which can minimize the number of columns.

Composition

In a relational database, the reference relationship between tables is defined as a foreign key. If the foreign key consists of multiple columns or the size of the key is significantly large, the performance of join operations between tables will be degraded. However, CUBRID allows the direct use of the physical address (OID) where the records of the referred table are located, so you can define the reference relationship between tables without using join operations.

That is, in an object-oriented database, you can create a composition relation where one record has a reference value to another by using the column displayed in the referred table as a domain (type), instead of referring to the primary key column from the referred table.

Suggestions/comments on what to try first?
