MariaDB is a MySQL fork offering advanced features and better performance. FastBCP ensures full compatibility with MariaDB.
Features:
- •Full MySQL compatibility
- •Support for advanced MariaDB features
- •Optimized performance
Parallel Method - Ntile
Divides data into N equal partitions based on a numeric column.
Requirement: Requires a numeric distribution column
Available parallel methods with MariaDB:
Output Format - BSON (Binary JSON)
BSON is a binary-encoded serialization format, primarily used by MongoDB. FastBCP exports to BSON format for efficient integration with MongoDB ecosystems.
Features:
- •Binary encoding for compact storage
- •MongoDB native format
- •Data type preservation
- •Efficient for document databases
Destination - Local File System
FastBCP exports data directly to the local file system, ideal for on-premise processing, testing, or archiving.
Storage Type:
Local Disk
Features:
- •Direct write to local storage
- •No network overhead
- •Flexible path configuration
- •Perfect for development and testing
