I think, there is no simple export/import-function. The concepts of the Databases are too different. One of the first thing I was thinking about is: What to do with Periodic Groups and Muliple fields? Normalize it?

So I would say one of the first steps are:

1. Investigate your Data Model on Adabas. Write down your acutal and your target state.
2. Learn PL/SQL. It’s a very powerful sort of SQL. You will need it.
3. …

BTW: There’s an own forum for ADABAS. see [http://adabas.forums.softwareag.com](http://adabas.forums.softwareag.com)

Also, take a look at the Adabas Event Replicator - it automates the process of replicating data from Adabas to other databases (including handling MU/PE’s!).
