This document describes an XML database migration project that converts existing databases into XML file format. It discusses migrating from an existing single database conversion system to a new system that allows conversion of multiple database types like MS Access and SQL. The new system stores data in XML format as flat files for enhanced security, reduced memory usage and data access speed compared to the existing database system. It outlines the introduction, existing system, proposed improved system, module breakdown, software/hardware requirements and conclusion.

3.  XML Database migration is a project of migrating the existing
database into XML file format. We provide authentication for the
user and protect the database sources from unauthorized access.
 The User with valid username and password can only proceed with
further conversion process.
 The user is allowed to select the database type from the available
database types. Here the appropriate database server is connected
using the specified database name.
 The User is prompted for the database name and the appropriate
tables are listed. The User is made to select the table for which the
conversion is to be carried out. The table is retrieved from the
database.
 The tables selected by the User can also be previewed for the case
of reducing mal-selections. The table is subjected for conversion
after manual verification.

4. Existing system
 The Existing system provides access for single
database conversions.
 At present databases are widely used in all sort of
applications, hence the maintenance charge of these
databases will increases as the size increases.
 The retrieval of data from the database is very slow
when we are browsing the site.

5. Limitations on Existing system
 Data corruption will occur .
 Unnecessary expenses for database security and
monitoring.
 Requires huge memory space.
 Maintenance of database is expensive.

6. Proposed system
• Here we provide multiple databases conversions
such as Ms-Access and SQL.
• The database tables are converted into XML file
format.
• We use flat file format, so that this project has an
ability to store any kind of data from the application
system.
• XML database is a file and it consumes less memory.

7. Features on Proposed system
No data loss.
Occupies less memory space.
Accessing will be fast while processing data.
Enhanced security is assured since we provide
authentication while retrieving tables from the
databases.
Human resource is reduced and system efficiency
is retained.
Platform independent.

9. Modules
1. Designing Databases
2. Designing Master pages

10. Software Requirements
 Language Specification -C# with Asp.Net
 Databases- -SQLSERVER 2008
and ms access
 Framework -.Net 4.0
 Operating Systems -Windows 7

11. Hardware Requirements
• Processor Pentium IV & LATER
• RAM 512MB RAM & above
• Hard Disk 80GB & above
• Keyboard 107 keys

12. Conclusion
Using this project we can easily migrate the existing
database. The XML is a text format flat file, so our
system has an ability to store any kind of data under
different platform.
Even though our source database crashes, we can
backup the database from XML file.
