Schema Mapping Tool

The Schema Mapping Tool is a local executable that quickly gives users an overview of the schema currently present in a database within their Granta instance. The databases are exported into an Excel file in a way that is easily copied and pasted back into MI:Admin for quick transfer of attributes, tables, or even entire databases. The Schema Mapping Tool also allows for an intuitive comparison between two databases in a way that highlights both the similarities and differences between the two.
