Generation of code executable to implement a data replication policy based on user input

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions stored thereon that are capable of being executed by a computer system to cause operations comprising:

• providing, to a client device, code usable to generate a graphical user interface (GUI) that enables a user of the client device to define a data replication policy, via the GUI, to be implemented during a data replication operation;
• receiving, from the client device, user input provided via the GUI that defines a first data replication policy, wherein the user input indicates a series of transformations to be performed, as part of the first data replication policy, on a first database object from a source database to replicate a transformed version of the first database object to a target database;
• and
• based on the user input, generating code executable to implement the first data replication policy, wherein the code is usable to perform the series of transformations on the first database object to generate the transformed version of the first database object.

A method, comprising:

• generating, by a server system, code indicative of a graphical user interface (GUI) that is operable to:
• provide information corresponding to a plurality of database objects from a source database to a user;
• and
• receive transformation instructions from the user specifying one or more transformations to be performed on a given one of the plurality of database objects during a data replication operation;
• sending, by the server system, the code indicative of the GUI to a client device;
• receiving, by the server system from the client device, a set of user-specified transformation instructions provided via the GUI, wherein the set of user-specified transformation instructions indicate a first plurality of transformations to be performed on a first database object of the plurality of database objects;
• and
• based on the set of user-specified transformation instructions, generating, by the server system, code executable to implement a data replication policy, wherein the code includes code statements executable to perform the first plurality of transformations on the first database object.
