Migrate data from MySQL to eXist in Orbeon Forms

We need migrate data from MySQL to eXist database because of bad performance of MySQL persistence layer in Orbeon Forms. How can we do it?

Solution

  • Currently, Orbeon Forms doesn't come with a "migration tool" that would enable you to move data between databases. You could program this in whatever language you are the most familiar with, accessing Orbeon's persistence API, but if you have 50 forms, and this is a one-time operation, however boring that might sound, it might be faster to just do 50 copy-pastes.
