It operates on database dumps. That alone is absurd. Database dumps are not public interfaces. And they are really not suitable for mass data processing.

You have a DBMS available, but all you ask from it is a dump of all data in a format that can only be used as an archive or transfer format. And yet you think you can process this data reasonably?

I guess your "you" is not directed at me, as I basically wondered the same.

Replibyte seems like to use a highly unpractical way as I explained, but I meant to ask wether you only found the implementation to be bad, or that you also found it lacking in other terms.
