RE: SyncSort - Unix - Datawarehousing.

Hi

I used Syncsort on UNIX few years ago working on a large data conversion project
- converting millions of records from mainframe to Oracle database.
Syncsort was a great tool and it has number of extra options. We used it to sort files, eliminate duplicate records, merge files, extract certain columns only, etc.
And many of the files were over 500 MB, maybe even close to 1GB in size.

In my case I mixed Syncsort with C++ programs.

Should I ever work on a similar project, syncsort would definitely be part of it
- well, I would like it to be part of it...
