NAME

Rosetta::Migration - Assist translating between various languages

DESCRIPTION

Rosetta::Model provides an effective language for defining relational data models, both the means to create them and the means to interact with them. The language is IRL (Intermediate Relational Language); see the documentation of Rosetta::Model itself (in the current distribution) for a further introduction.

This document, Rosetta::Migration ("Migration"), is intended to help users of Rosetta::Model to map the concepts and syntax of their existing database schemas and access specifications, between Rosetta::Model's native language and their current forms, such as SQL:2003 and other SQL dialects, and the "Tutorial D" relational data language, and various general purpose programming languages like C and Perl.

This document should be helpful when converting applications to use Rosetta::Model to define their relational database concerning structures and tasks. This document should also be helpful when creating a Rosetta::Model-based API layer on top of an existing database manager, so you know how to go about translating input and output to and from that database manager, or when creating something like a SQL translating tool.
