ETL Tools for PostgreSQL::

Definition: An ETL process data to load into the database from a flat file

A. Extract
B. Transform
C. Load

1. PGLoader -  Load .csv file
2. Benetl 1.8 - Load .txt or .csv or .xls file
3. Talend Open Studio => http://www.talend.com/index.php
4. Pentaho Kettle => http://kettle.pentaho.com/
5. Visual Importer => Data can be imported from flat files,Excel.MS Access,Oracle.Mysql.Interbase,PostgreSQL,oleDB,ODBC and DBF files.

Both [3 &4] of these ETL solutions have a lot of the same types of features:

  • Both are Java based and run on Linux and Windows (Talend is Eclipse-based)
  • Visual designers for creating the transformations
  • Connectivity for a myriad of databases, including all the big DBs, text formats, etc.
  • Supports distributing jobs across multiple servers if you are doing serious lifting
  • Excellent error handling and error notification systems
  • Active and helpful forums (Kettle is older and seems to have a larger community however)
  • Free and open source
  • They are complex enough to handle a lot of tasks, but not so much as to kill you
  • There are versions of both (GeoKettle and Spatial Data Integrator) that are tailored for GIS
