Altova MapForce Professional Edition 2009

Altova MapForce 2009 Professional Edition is a graphical data mapping tool for transforming between XML, database, and flat file formats. This award-winning visual data mapper converts data instantly or autogenerates royalty-free application code for execution of recurrent conversions. Simply open sources and targets, drop in data processing functions from the customizable libraries, and drag connecting lines between the elements you wish to associate. To make your mapping even easier, MapForce automatically connects matching child elements. Numerous functions come standard with MapForce (e.g., filter, concatenate, sum, average, replace, etc.), and you can even create and save your own complex data processing functions. Once a mapping is defined, you can instantly view and save the output. Furthermore, with just a click of the mouse, you can choose between XSLT 1.0, XSLT 2.0, XQuery, Java, C++, or C# and automatically generate an application to automate regular or repeated transformations. MapForce supports every major database, including Microsoft SQL Server, IBM DB2, Oracle, Sybase, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and others. It even supports mapping XML data in IBM DB2 9: pureXML and SQL Server databases. MapForce Professional Edition integrates with Microsoft Visual Studio and Eclipse, so you can use its advanced functionality from within these leading IDEs. It is an indispensable tool for information architects, database administrators, application developers, and systems integrators working to programmatically integrate data in a cost-effective, standards-based way.
