SQLSaturday #32 report
expressor sponsored its first SQLSaturday event on January 23rd in Tampa. According to Frank Fallon, our VP of sales and business development, expressor received an enthusiastic reception from the dozens of attendees who stopped by the expressor table and sat in on Michael Ruland’s presentation over lunch. As one attendee noted, “It’s great to have an upgrade path for SSIS that won’t cost us six figures.”

Merv Adrian on eval edition
Industry analyst and founder of IT Market Strategy Merv Adrian offers his opinion of our approach to providing users with an easy, no-risk method for evaluating expressor.
new video on datascript
Our senior manager of education John Lifter has created new educational video on datascript, expressor’s advanced scripting language, that provides an example of writing datascript in a normalize operator. Why the normalize operator? Because it can be used as a pre-configured looping function, relieving the developer of all the details of creating and managing the loop. Also, nested loops can be easily implemented by using multiple normalize operators in series.

semantic integration blog |
We’ve beefed up the technical content of our blog recently, as Michael Ruland completed his five-part series on semantic rationalization and we added a new “insight series” of mini-tutorials on technical features and capabilities of the expressor semantic data integration system. The first insight series blogs examined expressor’s approach to parallel processing and its “project” concept.
