Show Host Scott Hayes Commentary
We ran some interesting polling questions today, so watch the replay for details. Mark Gillis did a fantastic job presenting on the INGEST Utility including how it can be creatively used as an ETL tool. His presentation is full of code examples that make a complete "cookbook" on using INGEST. He even included some Gotchas. You can learn more about Mark Gillis and find some of his most recent blogs by Clicking Here!
UPDATE 5 May 2014: Bob Harbus, IBM, contacted me with some licensing information for INGEST. INGEST is only available with Advanced Editions of DB2 (AESE and AWSE) plus Developer Edition (DE).
