1. A method for translating data to be migrated from an older legacy database to a newer recipient database, said method comprising:
updating, by a processor of a computer system, a translation table in the older legacy database, wherein the translation table defines one or more recipient data elements in the newer recipient database based upon metadata of the older legacy database, wherein the metadata of the older legacy database describes one or more legacy data fields in the older legacy database, wherein the older legacy database utilizes a first operating system, wherein the newer recipient database utilizes a second operating system, and wherein the second operating system differs from the first operating system; said processor translating legacy data elements in the older legacy database to correspond to the one or more recipient data elements in the newer recipient database by utilizing the updated translation table, wherein the legacy data elements translated in the older legacy database are used to migrate the legacy data elements translated from the older legacy database to the newer recipient database; and said processor mapping the one or more legacy data fields in the older legacy database to one or more recipient intermediary tables in the newer recipient database.
