    ETL without forcing relational data into XML

    I don't think any of the major ETL products put the data into XML unless you want to. They all pull it relationally and process it in their own representations. Or are you specifically talking about getting data via their "on demand" features? Even there, most interface with messaging products...

    Can MySQL (4.1) handle Enterprise Website performance?

    I'm not an expert in MySQL, but I don't see a problem. It's used behind a lot of heavy traffic sites. The O'Reilly web sites come under heavy traffic loads, and they use MySQL. They also use it for their enterprise data warehouse and have a pretty large database, with tables > 100M rows working...

    ETL Tools selection

    You could look at Data Junction, which is now owned by Pervasive. It may fit in your budget. I don't know what Pervasive has done with the pricing since acquiring the product. The basic version of Data Integrator (Business Objects) lists for $25K, so you might be able to get a 20% discount on...

    Evaluating Ab Initio ETL Tool

    Sharma, It would be great if you could provide a comparison on more recent information. My review was about two years ago, and what I saw was comparable to other products, if less easy to use. Some vendors have made huge strides in the past two years with their products, and it would be good to...

    ETL Tools selection

    I've evaluated both through a proof-of-concept (current versions). Both are good, both are equivalent in many respects. DI is the easiest to use of all the major ETL tools. Easy to learn, easy to use, quick to build. Great user interface. Only vendor that can show side-by-side before and after...

    Evaluating Ab Initio ETL Tool

    Ab Initio is very secretive, as well as expensive. They offer high-end performance, but Informatica and Ascential can come close. I no longer evaluate them because they are so hard to work with, and they do not treat sales prospects very well. Only company I've ever seen that requires an NDA...

    Pricing an ETL tool

    One additional note on the prices I listed. These are based on list price. Assume discounts if you want to know what you will really spend. The vendors will also mix and match components if there's something important to you - this is a very competetive market. Generally you can expect anywhere...

    Pricing an ETL tool

    You can get the basic pricing information for list pricing from the vendors. Online you will probably not find it, and I don't post those slides from my presentations because they go out of date fairly quickly. Here's a rundown on the top vendors as far as features/functions: Basic versions...
