Kettle / PDI

During the last couple of years, Pentaho Data Integration (PDI) a.k.a. Kettle has become one of the leading ETL tools.  Here are a few useful or memorable links to things I wrote on my blog about Kettle…

    […] expected each tool has their own strengths and weaknesses, but one thing stands out, the venerable Kettle ETL aka PDI 3.0 is now a serious contender for handling very large datasets. Obviously all the work […]

    Hello,

    I’ve been using Kettle 2.2 till now. Also, there were plugins developed by others.
    I’ve downloaded PDI 3.0.4. But, most of the existing transforms are not working in PDI 3.
    Is there a way to use/access those plugins in PDI 3.0.4 ?
    How to migrate those plugins into PDI3 ?

    Please help, thnx.

    hi matt,

    been trying to access our proprietary DB with kettle, except that we can’t find the supported DB in the list (http://www.kjube.be/tnenopxe/index.php?section=69). our vendor told us they are using PICK database except that we don’t have any idea about it. are you familiar what DB is being used by tigerlogic corporation? their website is (http://rainingdata.com/)

    thanks for having this useful website.

    Hi Bambam,

    Unfortunately I’ve never heard about that database. That doesn’t mean much though. There are new databases popping up all the time, usually PostgreSQL, MySQL, etc clones but others as well.
    Ask your vendor for a JDBC or ODBC driver and we can work together to create the driver in Kettle. File a feature request at http://jira.pentaho.org/browse/PDI

    Hi YeXiangJie,

    Create a JIRA case describing the improvements and contributions you did and we’ll make sure it finds the right place.
