Hi. We see older posts like the one at http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/adodotnetdataproviders/thread/c5561541-2193-440c-8d4f-1a731e0a4798 and we know one moderator would like us to join a different community (with 55 followers) that has a related post but we're looking for more current, simpler and less time consuming ways of getting the latest thinking on ssis and postgres.
We still run std 2008. We use sql server for most of our data stores. We use Postgres 9.2 for one situation. We're hoping to find a somewhat seamless Postgres connector (for input and output, maybe a plug in or new tool box item) for use in ssis. We'd prefer that it be a good performer, unlike the one we tried out in a competitor's java based etl tool. Actually we're not sure if the etl tool or the connector (or both) was to blame but we know the etl oem is Talend. Not sure if they also provided the connector.
We'd also prefer to check it out on more than 100 rows before buying it. We did experiment with one connector mentioned in the link above but they want $300 before we know if it satisfies our needs. We want to see how available connectors perform loading 300 million rows before laying out a dime.
We'd prefer staying away from customizing our own connector. Does anyone have any info that can be posted in this forum?
