ORCL: news analysis <<<- Oracle Suite To Ease Data Warehouse Construction Oracle's database is the most popular platform for data warehouses. But until now, the company has offered only point products to build data warehouses. This week, Oracle begins shipping Oracle Warehouse Builder, a suite of Java applications that is its first integrated platform to construct data warehouses. The product will compete with tools from Informatica Corp. and Informix Corp. Oracle Warehouse Builder was slated to ship by mid-1999, but lengthy beta testing to ensure the product's quality and performance caused the delay, says Oracle VP Michael Howard. The suite includes data warehouse modeling software, tools for generating PL-SQL code, a workflow manager, and gateway software to link multiple data sources to a data warehouse, as well as the Oracle8i database and Oracle's Enterprise Manager systems-management software. Data quality-management software Oracle acquired when it bought Carleton Corp. in November will be added to the suite in a few months. Oracle says the suite will be priced at $10 per power unit, determined by the amount and speed of system processors required to run the software. Oracle Warehouse Builder's key attraction is that it offers warehouse design, warehouse administration, and metadata management capabilities in one suite. Says Hurwitz Group analyst Philip Russom, "They're giving users all the convenience of three tools rolled into one." - Rick Whiting >>> excerpt from informationweek.com
