In enterprises its very common need to pull out a subset of data from a master database for various purposes. Some of needs include: setting up a test database with valid data subset, have a separate dataset for reporting, moving relevant data to various departmental databases from the master etc., You need a solution that could pull out a valid subset of records from the database based on certain filtering criteria.
SwisSQL offers a simple yet powerful option to specify criteria during migration based on which subset of data could be moved from one database to another. User can set the filter criteria for table(s) based on which, only the rows matching the criteria (subset) will be migrated. If criteria is set for a table, then its dependant tables (identified through primary-foreign key relationship) will also be migrated based on its relationship automatically. This way SwisSQL ensures only the creation of a valid data subset always
