Hi, Friends, are there any ETL tools (free or commercial) available for PostgreSQL?
ETL Tools for PostgreSQL::
Definition: An ETL process data to load into the database from a flat file
A. Extract
B. Transform
C. Load
1. PGLoader - Load .csv file
2. Benetl 1.8 - Load .txt or .csv or .xls file
3. Talend Open Studio => http://www.talend.com/index.php
4. Pentaho Kettle => http://kettle.pentaho.com/
5. Visual Importer => Data can be imported from flat files,Excel.MS Access,Oracle.Mysql.Interbase,PostgreSQL,oleDB,ODBC and DBF files.
6. CloverETL => http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CloverETL
Both [3 &4] of these ETL solutions have a lot of the same types of features:
- Both are Java based and run on Linux and Windows (Talend is Eclipse-based)
- Visual designers for creating the transformations
- Connectivity for a myriad of databases, including all the big DBs, text formats, etc.
- Supports distributing jobs across multiple servers if you are doing serious lifting
- Excellent error handling and error notification systems
- Active and helpful forums (Kettle is older and seems to have a larger community however)
- Free and open source
- They are complex enough to handle a lot of tasks, but not so much as to kill you
- There are versions of both (GeoKettle and Spatial Data Integrator) that are tailored for GIS
Thanks & Regards
