Title: Re: any student versions of 'business objects' ab initio or informatica? Probably best to contact them directly? I suspect that Ab Initio in particular will be out of reach for this purpose. My understanding is that they choose their customers based on their capability to deliver a data warehouse succesfully. Just a rumor, but it makes a certain amount of sense if you want to streamline your post-sales support costs. I understand that they are more selective of potential customers than the prospective customers are of ETL tools, actually deciding not to sell to certain prospects. Talk about business intelligence! If this is true, then I would suspect that student discounts are not an option. Of course, it might just be a rumor... on 1/17/04 9:44 AM, Ryan at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Something affordable.

Ryan - Some more thoughts for your consideration. 1. Consider studying Data Warehousing. These tools are deliberately made easy to use, so shouldn't take much effort, but understanding how to design a star schema will make data more accessible to any tool. A good start can be had at http://www.ralphkimball.com http://www.ralphkimball.com and http://www.billinmon.com http://www.billinmon.com 2. In spite of the versatility of these tools, sometimes they can't do everything, particularly in the ETL phase. Consider learning a tool like perl to fill the gap. 3. There are ways to learn about a tool without operating it. Find a group like this dedicated to the tool. Try to locate user groups. See if you can get a manual. 4. Once you've learned quite a bit about the tool, contact the local sales rep for these tools and describe your desires. Use your winning charm. Let them know you are sincere to have learned what you are able. They may have some creative suggestions for you. Maybe let you sit in the back of a training class, or slip you an old manual they are ready to toss. Offer volunteer labor. It is in their best interest to have trained technical people available Dennis Williams DBA Lifetouch, Inc.
