Method, system, and article of manufacture for transferring structured data between different data stores

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof and which illustrate several implementations.
It is understood that other implementations may be utilized and structural and operational changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present implementations.
FIG.
1 illustrates a block diagram of a computing environment in which certain aspects of the invention are implemented.
A computational device 100 comprising a client application 102 is connected to a plurality of computational devices 104, 106.
The computational devices 100, 104, 106 may comprise any computational device known in the art, including a personal computer, a workstation, a server, a mainframe, a hand held computer, a palm top computer, a telephony device, etc.
The computational device 100 may be connected to the computational devices 104, 106 by networks 107a, 107b respectively.
The networks may be any network known in the art, such as the Internet, an intranet, a local area network etc.
The computational device 100 may alternatively be connected to the computational devices 104, 106 without a network, such as through direct lines, common bus systems etc.
, in a manner known in the art.
Computational device 104 comprises a source database 108, and computational device 106 comprises a target database 110.
The source database 108 and the target database 110, may comprise any database management system known in the art, such as an object-relational database, a hierarchical database, an object-oriented database etc.
FIG.
2 illustrates a block diagram of software elements and data structures in which certain aspects of the invention are implemented.
The source database 108 comprises a source database table 200 and a source typeID-typeName map metadata 202 (a typeID-typename map metadata is hereinafter referred to as a typemap).
The source database table 200 comprise table entries, where the table entries contain structured data 204
