IGS Replicator

Transferring or exchanging data between SQL databases is not exactly problematic since most database manufacturers provide their users with specialized applications for data exchange between their products.

A somewhat questionable situation can arise when trying to transfer data between different types of SQL databases from various manufacturers for the lack of of universally suited tools for the job.

IGS Replicator is a comprehensive and specialized piece of software that aims to fill this void by providing you with an efficient and all round accessible way of replicating SQL data without jeopardizing both the source and target databases.

Right off the bat, you should know that this utility should work with all the major types of SQL databases on the market. It's well worth pointing out that the app also bundles a comprehensive Help section, which should be enough to guide you while taking your first steps with SQL replication.

Subsequent to a typical installation process, you are bound to discover the app's straightforward UI. Even though this might struck you as being a fairly sophisticated app, you will notice that its workflow is fairly graphically-orientated. Start off by making your way to the Login section and define the connections for the source and target databases by entering the credentials.

Since most DMBSs (short for database management systems) go with ODBC interface, IGS Replicator makes use of this technology to create a dependable communication between both involved databases. The utility then performs an extended scan of the target database to determine the names, keys, and dependencies of the tables.

After the scan, it displays database tables with the same name in a side-by-side manner, in the Replication section. You can use the Column Setup to view a comprehensive comparison between the two databases. The app also makes it possible for you to add assignments, as well as to filter data on the server side.

Last but not least, the Settings section allows you to customize the replication considering various conditions. For instance, you can customize the app to run replication files automatically, or to insert all data with bind variables, just to name a few.

IGS Replicator is a compelling software for SQL database replication purposes. The highlights of the app are as follows: it's manufacturer-independent, it's user-friendly, it's surprisingly well-documented, and it also provides you with a lot of efficient tools for accurate SQL data transfer.
