Use Relational Migrator Without a Live Database Connection
On this page
You can create a project without a live relational database connection to visualize and model your data or to evaluate Relational Migrator. However, Relational Migrator requires a live database connection to migrate data.
Use Cases
If you don't have a live relational database connection, you can load a schema from a DDL file or use Relational Migrator's pre-defined sample schema.
Load a Schema From a DDL File
You can visualize and model your data by loading a schema from a DDL file. When you are ready to migrate, you can use the data model you created by exporting your project file.
Use a Sample Schema
You can try Relational Migrator without a relational database by using the
pre-defined Northwind sample schema. If you want to run a migration job
using the sample schema, you can deploy a Docker image containing the sample
schema and data.
