FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Instant Data Warehouse Released15/01/2003 -- Hello and Welcome!! Today I am very pleased to announce the release of the 'Instant Data Warehouse'. This is my second product in the area of improving productivity in the ETL development processes for a data warehouse. As you will read below, this is somewhat of a 'breakthrough' product. The only word that I have found that effectively describes watching the Instant Data Warehouse run is 'magic'. It is now possible to load star schema data warehouses without having to write mapping code to load the tables. Can you imagine what building data warehouses will be like with no coding required to actually load the tables. This is 'magic'. I have worked for so long building data warehouses and built so much code, so many 'jobs', so many 'mappings' and I have always been searching for 'a better way'. When I set up the Instant Data Warehouse in minutes to do what I have spent days and weeks coding in the past and then watch it process flawlessly, with no possibility of introducing 'bugs' through code changes, 'magic' is the only work I can think of for it. If only I had developed this 10 years ago I would have saved myself so many weeks and months of development and bug chasing!! The Instant Data Warehouse is a tool to enable you to build your data warehouse much faster than previously possible using any currently available technologies. The Instant Data Warehouse imbeds all my years of experience, and the experience of many of my colleagues, in doing ETL work with a focus on:
The Instant Data Warehouse:
Productivity ImprovementsUsing the Instant Data Warehouse you can expect to be able to:
*An experienced developer means a person experienced at implementing star schema data warehouses using the Instant Data Warehouse. Instant Data Warehouse 'developers' do not need to know any 'language' except how to create tables and views in the source databases and the data warehouse database. There is NO CODE required to load a star schema data warehouse from a staging area using the Instant Data Warehouse. This is, in some cases, an order of magnitude faster than writing and maintaining the equivalent processing using the leading ETL tools available today. In many cases it is extremely difficult to replicate the processing of the Instant Data Warehouse in today's ETL tools. I know because I have tried to emulate the processing features of the Instant Data Warehouse in DataStage and Informatica and, to the best of my knowledge, it is not possible.
Who is the Instant Data Warehouse Intended for?The Instant Data Warehouse is intended for companies who fit into one or more of the following categories:
Summary of Major FeaturesThe most important features of the Instant Data Warehouse are:
I am very excited at being able to bring this product to market. I know that ETL developers the world over will want to use the Instant Data Warehouse because it will save weeks, if not months, of very tedious development time. The Instant Data Warehouse will also make ETL maintenance for the code that loads data from the staging area to the data warehouse a thing of the past. This has been one of my greatest frustrations with the ETL tools I have used and now it is gone. Adding a new column to be passed directly through to a fact or dimension table is now trivial!!
