Prepare
- Upload Gupta SQLBase files
Gupta SQLBase is a relational database management system known for its compact footprint and performance, often used with Gupta (Centura) Team Developer applications.
Why Agent Required
SQLBase databases typically run on servers that cannot directly upload data to the web. The DataMeans Agent connects securely to your SQLBase environment for extraction.
What You Can Extract
- SQLBase versions 5.x through 12.x
- Tables, views, and indexes
- Stored procedures (documentation)
- Constraints and relationships
What You Get Out
DataMeans extracts your data into multiple modern formats:
| Output | Description |
|---|---|
csv/{TableName}.csv | One CSV file per table with all row data |
xlsx/{TableName}.xlsx | Excel workbook per table |
xls/{TableName}.xls | Legacy Excel format per table |
json/{TableName}.json | JSON array of records per table |
json/{TableName}.jsonl | Newline-delimited JSON (streaming-friendly) |
postgres.sql | PostgreSQL CREATE TABLE + INSERT statements |
schema/schema-graph.json | Relationship graph for visualization |
schema/er-model.json | ER model for diagram tools |
report.json | Structured extraction report |
report.md | Human-readable extraction summary |
