Abstract

We demonstrate a prototype toolkit called ITSE (Integrated Translation Support Environment), for interoperation and migration of heterogeneous database systems. The main objective of ITSE is to enable transparency in heterogeneous database environments. Therefore, tools have been developed to support flexible configuration of databases and the wrapping or migrating of legacy systems in intranets. The tools themselves are aimed at MDBMS administrators and MIS analysts. These users can tailor the toolkit's operation so that end users are shielded from the underlying heterogeneity of their information system.
