Abstract
A method for recreating a plurality of database dependencies of objects from one database to another is disclosed. The method comprises categorizing the dependencies based upon at least one base object and formalizing the relationships of the dependencies based upon the categorization. The method includes determining the order of recreating the objects based upon the formalizing of the relationships of the dependencies. In a preferred embodiment, the method builds a Dependency Management Table (DMT) that describes the relationship of each object to a base-table. The DMT includes an entry for every object-to-object relationship, including the category of the relationship, and the nesting-level of the dependency from the base-table. Using this information, objects can be recreated in an order which ensures correct management of dependencies.
