Princeton Softech Delivers Relational Extract Engine
for DB2 UDB Databases
ACTION ITEMS
Princeton Softech, a wholly owned subsidiary of Computer Horizons Corp., announced Move for Servers: DB2 Universal Database (UDB), a data extract, transformation and migration tool. Move for Servers enables users to subset Oracle and UDB databases in preparation for creating realistic, time-shifted Year 2000 test data, building and refreshing data warehouses and data marts, staging data for production, or archiving production data.
"Move for Servers continues Princeton Softech's tradition of providing comprehensive solutions to problems that require 100% accuracy," asserts Joe Allegra, president of Princeton Softech. "Our proprietary Relationship Engine technology solves intricate relational data migration problems and guarantees referentially intact extracts from an arbitrarily complex data model, with no limit on the number of tables or relationships. The Relationship Engine even understands 'application-managed' relationships, and accounts for them during the extract process."
"Creating an accurate extract from a relational database is a significant challenge, because the data, by its very nature, is fragmented," explains Don Cohen, vice president, Research and Development, Princeton Softech. " In addition, the variety of relationships that exist in relational databases can make it very difficult to create accurate extracts. Move for Servers has saved our clients an enormous amount of time by eliminating the need to write, test, and debug customized extract and aging programs."
Move for Servers contains numerous functions that make it easy to manage data movement operations including Scheduling, High Performance Bulk Loading and Relational Deletes. In addition, Move for Servers supports an extensive array of aging features that are specific to the needs of the Year 2000 project, including Object-Level Semantic Aging, Date Interpretation, Semantic SafeGuard, Target Dating, Global Date Advancement, Window Watching, Date Absorption and Date Skipping. The pricing is server-based, starting at $35,000. Subsequent releases of Move for Servers will support DB2 for OS/390, Sybase, SQL Server, Informix and data movement interoperability between these heterogeneous DBMSs.
