Hi,
Thanks Witold for the info. I have some more Q's.
1. For the Conversion part - I believe you must have used some other tools like -
FilePort ( from the SyncSort company). Is it right?
2. Also, the conversion is from Mainframe flat file to Unix Flat file - but not
directly in Oracle DB . Right?
3. Last Q, Would I be right in saying that SyncSort replaces/enhances the capability
provided by awk in Unix?
TIA,
Rajaram

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...
