Subject: groups.drupal.org St. Louis: SQL ICE - New Tool for Drupal Users who know MySql
Date: Fri, 18 Feb 2011 15:32:39 +0000 (UTC)
From: fdomke NO-REPLY@groups.drupal.org
A new comment has been added by fdomke to this thread in group St. Louis: SQL ICE 1.1 with ETL
Business Integration Technology has now released version 1.1 of SQL ICE that includes the ability to extract data (possibly summarized and categorized) from one database with a SQL query and push it to another database using another SQL query. This can make the Drupal mySQL database much more useful by enabling users to push data to it from an enterprise system or to extract Drupal data and push it to enterprise systems. This ETL (extract/transform/load) capability complements SQL ICE's reporting and Web application development capabilities to make a complete Internet computing environment. SQL ICE version 1.1 is free for all legal purposes, including commerical use. Download it at http://BusinessIntegrationTechnology.com/Download_SQLICE.html . Very simple registration (name and e-mail) is required.

Interfacing with external databases - I can help!
Eliot,
I work for Business Integration Technology, and your post references SQL ICE, our latest product offering. We are a local technology company based downtown.
We would be happy to do a demo for you or for a group. We could host a session in our offices or we could host a webinar via GoToMeeting.
SQL ICE is a powerful tool that can do everything from basic database reporting queries, to CRUD functions, and up to full-blown application development.
Let me know what you might like to see, and we can focus on the topics that most interest you. I look forward to talking with you.
Thank you,
Lori Folta

ICE anyone? (Meeting location?)
The email on SQL ICE caught my eye because I'd like to be able to exchange info between Drupal and external databases built with FileMaker Pro. I'm imagining SQL ICE can do that and a lot more. I'd definitely be interested in a demo.
I'd be willing to make the trek downtown, or we could try GoToMeeting. I've used Adobe Connect, but not GTM. Perhaps we could receive the "meeting" on one computer and project it onto the screen?
Anybody else interested in a demo? If so, what's your preference for location? Anyone with GTM experience?
(Thanks Lori for the offer!)

SQL ICE Demo - All are welcome!
Hi Eliot, and anyone else who might be interested in SQL ICE to access your Drupal data,
We are flexible on scheduling a demo. Just give us a few days notice and about an hour of your time.
We can demo in person at our offices in downtown St. Louis, or we can demo via webinar using GoToMeeting. To join a GoToMeeting webinar, all you need on your end is a computer with a browser and a high speed connection, and for the audio, you can use either a phone or your computer's speaker & mic.
If you would like to communicate with me directly, you can reach me at:

Re: SQL ICE Demo - All are welcome!
If there is any other interest I would be interested in the Webinar. I'm in Carbondale and, unfortunately, don't have many opportunities to make it to the St. Louis DUG meetings.

Demo
I'd do a webinar also.
The wireless at the Guild might not be able to handle all the computers, unless we use one and project it.
