Claim Text:
1. A method for multi-table data segmentation, the method comprising: identifying a plurality of definition files associated with a cross-reference table of a database, wherein each of the plurality of definition files defines a mapping from an application-specific format to a common format; generating a plurality of multi-table definition files by augmenting each of the plurality of definition files to include a multi-table identifier and a multi-table flag; creating a plurality of multi-tables from the cross-reference table based on the previously generated plurality of multi-table definition files, wherein each multi-table is created using a different one of the plurality of multi-table definition files such that a given one of plurality of multi-table definition files is used to define one or more table structures of a corresponding one of the plurality of multi-tables; transposing data stored in the cross-reference table to the plurality of multi-tables based on the plurality of multi-table definition files; and migrating the transposed data from the cross-reference table to the plurality of multi-tables.
