does export tool depend on database.

Hello

   Does export tool depend on database.
   I mean
   does export tool refer to database while giving the xml or acp files

    or does it extract the information directly from content strore.
   

Thank you

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
