Handling files of various formats in the context of database environments can always be a tricky demeanor, especially when there are numerous characteristics involved, which might dictate conversions or other operations in order to achieve better interoperability.

Such requirements have given birth to standardized frameworks that address the specific operations that might be involved when manipulating data in the context of DBMSs - ETL tools, or Extract, Transform, and Load. One such software is isimSoftware Quick ETL, which addresses such specific requirements.

This application was built specifically in order to offer users the means to perform ETL processes on their data, and import, transform, and export data to Microsoft SQL database environments, all from within a single, centralized platform.

Users will be able to rely on the app for performing analyses on the Microsoft SQL Server data, without having to write and deploy specialized scripts. Furthermore, the application comes equipped with support for a multitude of formats, such as Excel-compatible CSV, XLS, as well as XML or JSON.

Several parameters are adjustable within the app’s framework, including the replication frequency, in order to account for either batch or incremental processing, for flat files, and all the way down to the final server destination.
