Computer-implemented method of assessing the quality of a database mapping

A computer-implemented method of assessing the quality of a database mapping, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a plurality of different database mappings that map fields of a source file to fields of a target database;
• (b) converting a sampled subset of records in the source file to records in the target database using the database mappings, wherein a sampled subset of records is converted for each of the plurality of different database mappings;
• (c) testing the sampled subset with a data validator to determine the quality of the data for each of the subsets;
• and
• (d) identifying the database mapping that creates the highest quality of data.

A computer-implemented method of assessing the quality of a database mapping and performing a database mapping, the method comprising:

• (a) providing a plurality of different database mappings that map fields of a source file to fields of a target database;
• (b) converting a sampled subset of records in the source file to records in the target database using the database mappings, wherein a sampled subset of records is converted for each of the plurality of different database mappings;
• (c) testing the sampled subset with a data validator to determine the quality of the data for each of the subsets;
• (d) identifying the database mapping that creates the highest quality of data;
• and
• (e) mapping the fields of the source file to fields of the target database for all records in the source file using the database mapping that was identified as creating the highest quality data.
