 Transformation 

The Loader provides you with functions for unloading, loading, and formatting data between different data sources and data targets using data streams.

This action is known as a transformation and is described using entries in the Loader-specific system tables.

A transformation is identified using Loader and database instance details, a transformation type, the required part of the database catalog, and the data streams.

Server node, database name, user name, password, SQL mode, ASCII code page, transaction size, MaxErrorCount, backup tool

·        Transformations type:
EXTRACT: Data is to be unloaded.
