It's an ETL tool like Informatica. Heard it's much better than Informatica. You need to check their website for further information.
You just deal with a lot of data at one time and so keep in mind to optimize your code so that the end-to-end processing time is less.

Has anyone ever used Ab Initio? Is it some kind of data conversion tool? What is the the learning curve on it? Is there online documentation and do they have a freeware version to download? I want to learn it. Dont want to use it

for development.

2. What is a good Unix scripting book for Oracle Developers? Dont need a Using
Oracle as a DBA on Unix. Just one on basic scripting. My Unix skills are weak
and I want to improve them. I have Redhat at home. What should I concentrate

on?

3. In theory I know the difference between a datawarehouse and an OLTP, but as
a developer is the work really that different? I understand star schemas etc...
Just need to know how different the work is.
