Techniques for extracting data from content databases
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for enabling browsing of data from a content management application comprising:
- receiving a selection to connect to a database of a content management application;
performing database validation to ensure that the database is a valid version or database schema of the content management application;
establishing a connection to the database;
when the database is part of a current live instance of the content management application, determining whether one or more orphaned content management sites are contained in the database, the one or more orphaned content management sites comprising content management sites that have inaccessible uniform resource locator (URL) namespaces;
when the database is not part of the current live instance of the content management application, performing, by a processing unit, an emulation so that the database is treated like the database is actually attached to the current live instance of the content management application; and
enabling the database to be browsed.

Abstract
Various technologies and techniques are disclosed for extracting data from databases of content management applications. Input is received from a user to connect to a database of a content management application. A connection is established to the database. When the database is not part of a current live instance of the content management application, an emulation is performed so that the database is treated like it is actually attached to the current live instance of the content management application. The user is able to browse the database. Unattached databases of a content management application can be managed using one or more commands, such as using an object model or command line. Orphaned databases can be detected and deleted from the content management application.
