The quote mentioned is a question, not an answer. You said:

'Something like eRserver' doesn't give me enough detail; so I asked if
eRserver could do this, mentioning specific version numbers. A straight
answer -- yes it can, or no it can't -- would be nice. So you're saying
that eRserver can do this, right? Now if there just wasn't that java
dependency.... Although the contrib rserv might suffice for data
migration capabilities.
