About copying and pasting data
BaseNow allows you to copy data
from one database into another using a very simple technique available
in every text editor. If you want to copy some data, you first need to
select them in the source database and then press CTRL+C on the keyboard.
In order to move them into the destination database, select the data in
the Object Browser first and
then press CTRL+V after you have chosen the table to which you want to
transfer the data.
Thus, the program
can move very large quantities of data using an intuitive method which
most computer users who work with text-processing programs (Microsoft
Word, Notepad, etc.) have already become accustomed to.
This program makes
it extremely easy to work with data. Programs like Microsoft Access also
allow you to copy data in a similar way, but they have two major drawbacks.
BaseNow successfully solves the following problems:
1.
Data
are not stored in the computer memory and, consequently, do not burden
the resources.
During
copying, the data are not stored in the computer memory, but are temporary
saved on the hard disk. When you move the data into the destination database,
the temporary files are deleted, freeing the space on the hard disk.
2.
Data
can be copied between heterogeneous databases, not only between those
of the same type.
BaseNow can link and copy data between
any database. For instance, by using the CTRL+C and CTRL+V keyboard shortcuts,
you can easily copy a part of or the entire Oracle database onto a SQL
Server. You can move data from Excel into Access, and similar.
