Saving Time: Database administrators will find that SchemaResearch ETL tools save them both development time and execution time on these common DBA tasks.

Archiving Data: A common DBA responsibility is to see that reliable, highly available data archives are created on a regular basis. SR·Archive provides the simplest method for doing this, allowing the DBA to develop scripts that archive all or part of the target database. Archives are human readable so if archived data needs to be checked, it is not necessary to load it into a database. Archived data can be created in a variety of formats, including XML, to make analysis and exchange of archives even simpler.

Updating Schemas: As business requirements evolve, database schemas also evolve. Moving data to a new database can be a tricky task, SR·Transport provides tools that help move the data and transform it to meet the needs of the new schema. Logs are created so that detailed records of the move are available for audit.

Data Interchange. Incoming data often needs to be distributed to a variety of data stores: data marts for simplified reporting, data archives for long term analysis and so on. SR·Agent can be used to accomplish this automatically by setting up listeners which can move data to appropriate targets. This avoids elaborate custom daemons written for the purpose.
