Introduction

Hello - my name is Kyle and I am a Database Analyst at a local start-up in the Indianapolis area. This blog will serve as a location for me to post my thoughts, ideas, and findings typically pertaining to Pentaho Data Integration (aka Kettle or PDI). PDI is an open source ETL (extract, transform, load) tool I use on a daily basis to aggregate data into mini "data marts" or "data warehouses."

I hope that at the least I can help people through some of the initial hurdles in using ETL tools to their advantage.
