What is Data migration?
'''Data migration''' is a term [[computer scientist]]s and [[economist]]s use when they speak about moving [[Information|data]] from one location to another, one format to another, or one application to another. It can also mean that files, or folders with [[wikt:document|document]]s, or databases are moved from one [[server]] to another. This might be that because several [[database]]s are merged into one, or because the databases are reorganized. It is usually an automated process, supported by data migration tools. If the data structure is complex, the migration may be separated in several phases that are carried out one after the other. {{Tech-stub}} [[Category:Computer science]] [[Category:Migration]]
