4-Phase Automated Mapping Process
Schema Discovery
AI analyzes source and target schemas to understand structure, relationships, and data types.
- • Extract table and column metadata
- • Identify primary and foreign keys
- • Analyze data types and constraints
- • Profile sample data patterns
Intelligent Matching
AI matches fields using semantic analysis, pattern recognition, and machine learning models.
- • Semantic similarity (NLP)
- • Data type compatibility
- • Statistical distribution matching
- • Historical mapping patterns
Transformation Generation
AI generates transformation rules for data type conversions, format changes, and business logic.
- • Data type conversion logic
- • Format standardization
- • Null value handling
- • Business rule application
Validation & Refinement
AI validates mappings with sample data and provides confidence scores for review.
- • Sample data transformation test
- • Referential integrity validation
- • Data loss detection
- • Performance estimation

People Also Ask
How accurate is AI schema mapping?
AI schema mapping achieves 98% accuracy for field matching using semantic analysis, pattern recognition, and machine learning models trained on millions of schema mappings. The AI provides confidence scores for each mapping, with high-confidence matches (95%+) typically requiring no human review. Low-confidence matches are flagged for expert validation, ensuring 100% accuracy in production.
Can AI handle complex schema transformations?
Yes, AI excels at complex transformations including denormalization, normalization, data type conversions, format standardization, and business logic application. The AI analyzes sample data to understand patterns and generates transformation code that handles edge cases, null values, and data quality issues automatically. Complex many-to-many relationships and hierarchical structures are detected and mapped correctly.
What if the AI makes mistakes in mapping?
The AI provides confidence scores for every mapping decision, allowing you to review and adjust low-confidence matches before migration. The system includes a validation phase that tests mappings with sample data to detect errors. You can override any AI decision, and the system learns from your corrections to improve future mappings. All mappings are fully auditable with complete lineage tracking.
How does AI detect relationships between tables?
AI uses multiple techniques to detect relationships: analyzing foreign key constraints, identifying naming patterns (customer_id → customers.id), examining data distributions to find matching values, and using graph analysis to understand entity relationships. The AI detects one-to-many, many-to-many, and hierarchical relationships automatically, including junction tables and self-referencing relationships.
Can I reuse schema mappings for similar migrations?
Yes, all schema mappings are saved and can be reused for similar migrations. The AI learns from each mapping project and applies those patterns to future migrations. You can create mapping templates for common scenarios (e.g., Oracle to PostgreSQL) and the AI will automatically apply those patterns while adapting to schema differences. This accelerates subsequent migrations by 80%.
