Home -> Community -> Mailing Lists -> Oracle-L -> RE: PROCESSING APPROACH - Oracle design issue on Unix
Paula,
Your approach is fine. The bigger question that your organization needs to ask is - if you leave, can they support it - do they have adequate staff on hand that can maintain PL/SQL code?
I agree with you that PL/SQL can do anything that needs to be done for ETL transformation.
As I have said over and over again - it always comes down to staffing issues and standards at your site. If you are a PL/SQL shop, then it's a perfect choice. If you are a Pascal shop, then it's a really bad choice! :)
Hope this helps.

Guys,
In the past when writing ETL processes for data warehouses I did a lot with scripting on Unix and used SQL for some basic processing. I have been moving more into creating stored procedures and also separately been working on modularizing and making generic code. To me with native dynamic sql, utl_smtp and other Oracle packages/procs available it is cleaner and easier to modularize these codes into different stored procedures. Thereby I am moving a lot of the code I used to run into stored procs at the same time I am modularizing/generi. it. Eventually the script will be doing some basic things. Does anyone have an opinion on the approach I am taking as to its long-term viability/maintainability/reusability? I would love any and all opinions.
Thanks,
Paula
