Abstract: A data migration device (10) extracts, from a migration source database (201) in which node information managed in a target record and link information representing a link to another record are managed together in the same table, a record that can be traced based on the link information using origin data as a starting point, and writes the record to an intermediate table (212). The data migration device (10) reads the record from the intermediate table, and separates data of the record into the node information and the link information. The data migration device (10) registers the node information and the link information that have been separated in a migration destination database (202) in which the node information and the link information are managed separately.
