Migrate embedded DataFlex data to an SQL Server
Introduction
DataFlex DataPump is a simple tool to migrate embedded DataFlex data to an SQL Server. The tool is designed to provide optimum performance, enabling end-users to refresh the migrated data every day or perhaps more frequently than that.
The benefits of SQL Server
DataFlex applications can run on all popular database servers nowadays, including Microsoft SQL Server and ProgreSQL. Having a back-end in an SQL database offers many benefits like performance increase (especially for reporting) enhanced security, scalability and accessibility.
Accessibility
Accessibility is specifically important. It means that – given the appropriate authorization, the data can be accessed via a standardized access method by many third party tools such as Excel and Word.
