DataMorph
is an intuitive, easy to use data conversion tool that
provides powerful conversion functions for the most common data interchange
formats. DataMorph supports data conversion to and from database systems,
XML and delimited or fixed width ascii files. Furthermore, DataMorph
provides functions to manipulate the data and it's hierarchical structure or
schema within the conversion process, so the data can be taken to the
desired format and schema in a single step.
DataMorph is built using the Java™ language. This means that the
application is platform independent and can be run on any computer that
supports the Java™ JVM, including Windows, MacIntosh, Linux and most
other Unix flavors. Additionally, as DataMorph uses Java™ JDBC to
connect to database systems, it can connect to any of the major databases
(MS-SQL, MySQL, Oracle, IngresSQL, Access..)
