ADABAS Conversion to Relational Database

In today’s fast paced world, ultimately all things traditional have to give way to the modern. Due to constant changes and upgrades in the technologically advanced fields of software and Database management, it is necessary to keep upgrading your Database management system. When you have to move from Adaptable Database System (ADABAS) to a more modern and up-to-date Relational Database System, there are many challenges to be faced. These have to be overcome before you can fix all the glitches in the conversion process.

 

While the ADABAS used dynamic storage, the Relational Database uses tables and indexes, which helps in even faster access of data in real time. This is similar to the index of a book helping you to access data easily without searching elsewhere. So this has resulted in the Relational Database becoming the most popular database for storing of banking, financial, manufacturing, personnel and logistics data.

 

Here are a few of the things you dont want to go through, while switching your ADABAS to a Relational Database:

​

• When you are changing your database management system, you have to find new employees who are familiar with the new database system. We can help train your current team.

• Your new database management system might use a different User Interface.

• Employ new people familiar with the new interface or all your employees who might be using your database on a regular basis have to be educated and re-trained on the new interface.

• Extensive staff changes.

• Massive recruitment.

• Downtime involved during which your company will be losing money.
