Abstract
According to embodiments of the present invention, machines, systems, computer-implemented methods and computer program products are provided for converting part or all of a document from an unstructured format into a structured format, and combining structured and unstructured data into an unstructured format. In some embodiments, documents are received in an unstructured format, and stored in a repository for querying (e.g., including updating and other operations (e.g., SQL SELECT, UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE, MERGE, etc.)). Responsive to detecting a predetermined number of the documents in an unstructured format stored in a repository for querying, an optimization criteria may be applied to identify one or more components of the stored documents for conversion, and the one or more components of the stored documents are converted from the unstructured format to a structured format.
