Export tool does not depend on database.

It uses internal API to export data. In fact in Alfresco database is abstracted by Hibernate.

You can use export/import to transfer data between instances using different database. But export / import takes a long time on large repositories, and in some cases grows database log quite large.

Thanks
Alexander
