Thanks Krishnan,
1) My understanding for a tool is that it will be generic enough...such that
given (access to) FIMO database for a particular version(s) and MIFOS for
some version(s), it is capable to then migrate data. Perhaps the included
.sql is a sample outcome from the tool. Is that right? Can you please
clarify...
Ans: For time being outcome is insert script, once it is completed it will
have connection with MySQL and directly migrate the data.
script is just for my working convenience!
2) Hopefully, the data in the .sql was scrubbed and does not have any
business-sensitive information...this list may not be the best place for it.
Ans : :)
Thanks
