Thats a really great question. I've wondered the same thing myself. I think a really simple ETL tool would make an excellent open source project.
If you want to do one I'd be up for helping.
- tocomment 14y agoTo expand on that I don't think its worth writing one off programs to do it. Believe it or not I think ssis would actually sa e time over that. But making your own sane ETL software is a good way to go.
- bsg75 14y agoUnfortunately I am too busy fixing the current one to write a new one, but if I had a wish list for a concise one: 1) Jobs and transforms stored as in a human readable and editable format - NOT XML 2) A design tool that has as much focus placed on it as the runtime engine (but a good enough #1 limits the need for a feature laden #2) 3) A runtime not Java based The last is not so much a dig on Java, but it seems of all the OSS tools I use, the Java ones are the most problematic. Horrible UIs, complicated configs, and exception reporting (or stack dumps) that are completely non-descriptive of the actual problem.
