Patent ID: 7827134

Claim:
A computer system, comprising: a first memory; a second memory; a first relational database store storing data as a plurality of table units, each table unit comprising a plurality of columns; a second relational database store; wherein said first relational database store resides in said first memory and said second relational database store is resides in said second memory; a transfer provider executing on a processor for sending selected content and structure of the data from said first relational database store to said second relational database store, wherein the transfer provider is a Data Transformation Services (DTS) provider; an extensible markup language script code for determining which selected content and structure of the data is sent from said first relational database store to said second relational database store using said transfer provider, wherein the extensible markup language script code is determined based on the relational data stored in the first relational database store; and a structured query language execution script determined based on the extensible markup language script code and configured to assist to send the selected content and structure of the data from the first relational data store to the second relational database store by creating an object in the second relational database store, wherein the structured query language execution script is determined based on extensible markup language script code that is, in turn, determined based on relational data stored in the first relational database store, and wherein the structured query language execution script is transferred independently of the relational data stored in the first relational database store; wherein said extensible markup language script code is in a first format and said data is originally arranged in a second format that is different from said first format, wherein said second format is a structured query language format; wherein said extensible markup language script code uses fields embedded in said first format that correspond to fields embedded in said second structured query language format to drive a task that transfers said data, wherein said fields embedded in said first format comprise a plurality of source name fields and, for each source name field, a destination name field and a data type field describing a data type of a data structure created by the task in the second relational database store; wherein said extensible markup language script code obviates transfer of data in entire table units by transferring selected content and structure of said data.
