  • Patent number: 11157664
    Abstract: A method of modeling a prospective database migration between database systems may include collecting performance data associated with a plurality databases in a first database system. The method may also include receiving a selection of a set of databases in the plurality of databases to migrate to a second database system. The method may additionally include computing, using at least some of the performance data, combined performance data that estimates how the set of databases will perform on the second database system. The method may further include providing one or more indications as to whether the set of databases should be migrated to the second database system. In some embodiments, the one or more indications may be based on the combined performance data.

  • Patent number: 10691654
    Abstract: A method of migrating data from one or more source databases to one or more target databases may include generating a pre-migration analysis for a plurality of objects stored in the one or more source databases, and generating a plurality of migration scripts that transfer the plurality of objects from the one or more source databases to the one or more target databases. The method may also include generating a migration plan that defines an execution order for the plurality of migration scripts, and migrating the plurality of objects from the one or more source databases to one or more target databases according to the migration plan. The method may further include validating the plurality of objects on the one or more target databases.

  • Publication number: 20130251445
    Abstract: A pin or male member for a coupling device is disclosed. The pin may comprise an elongate non-metallic bar (2) and an elongate metal bar (25). The elongate non-metallic bar (2) has a first end (4), a second end (5), a central portion (9) extending along the elongate non-metallic bar (2), first grooves (7) towards the first end (4), and second grooves (6) towards the second end (5). The elongate metal bar (25) is enclosed in the elongate non-metallic bar (2). The elongate metal bar (25) comprises indents or protrusions, or both, on its surface and the indents or protrusions, or both, engage the elongate non-metallic bar (2).
