Loader enables you to export from a SAP MaxDB database to the file system or import application data from the file system to a SAP MaxDB database.

Because Loader supports a great number of file formats it can often be used to import and export data instead of special application programs. Due to its specialization on SAP MaxDB databases, Loader also supports direct transport of data from one database to another one running on a different hardware structure or a different operating system. You have the option of transporting all of the data from a database, from a certain database user, the individual tables from a special database schema or just a number of qualified columns. As well as files, Loader also supports pipes and back-up tools from other providers as transport media.
