DBAs and DW ETL architects needing to rapidly unload very large database tables
About IRI Fast Extract (FACT)
IRI FACT™ (Fast Extract) rapidly unloads large tables to external files using DB-native APIs, SQL SELECT syntax, and a choice of split (parallel) query methods.
Unlike other database unload methods (e.g., Oracle data pump), FACT creates portable flat files. Your 'dump-table-to-file' data is thus quickly available for any purpose, including: reorgs, transforms, pre-load sorting, migrations, change and summary reporting, ETL, replication, testing, and protection.
If you also use the IRI Voracity platform or IRI CoSort product, you can use their core SortCL program to perform or accelerate all these post-extraction steps at once. But you do not have to use SortCL; i.e., once the data are in flat files, you can do anything you want with them.
FACT's extract performance is second to none. Using superior connection protocols, parallel hints and queries, and a variety of other proprietary techniques, FACT's unload rate is much faster than database spool or export functions.

IRI Data Manager
The IRI Data Manager suite bundles the tools you need for faster data manipulation and movement:
1) CoSort makes light work of big data processing "heavy lifts" in DW ETL, BI/analytics, DB loads, sort/merge offload, etc.
2) FACT dumps very large database (VLDB) tables in parallel to flat files for ETL, DB migration, reorg, and archive.
3) NextForm performs and speeds file and table conversion, remapping, DB replication, data re-formatting, and federation.
4) RowGen subsets DBs or synthesizes structurally and referentially correct test data in tables, files, and reports.
These IRI products address data integration and staging (ETL/ELT), big data packaging and provisioning, BI reporting and data wrangling (preparation) and DevOps. Use them alone or in the IRI Voracity platform to: improve data quality; speed sorting and data transformation; migrate and replicate data; replace legacy sorts; and, synthesize (plus virtualize) smart RDB and file test data.
