A model driven method for data migration: Data migrattion with MDA

Abstract

NoSQL databases have been emerged in order to handle very huge amount of data granting fault tolerance availability and scalability. In these contexts Relational databases are usually unsuitable to store data for this reason the adaptation and migration from a relational database to a NoSQL database could be favorable. In this paper we proposes a migration system of data from Relational to a NoSQL databases with Model Driven Architecture (MDA). The approach is made up of a set of transformation rules as a mechanism to extract the graph schemas from the logical description of the relational database. As a result we have implemented an Eclipse based prototype that generates from the source database the graph database for Neo4J.
