I'm interested in peoples comments with regard to using XSLT as an ETL tool. Currently we use Mercator, an ETL tool (and an expensive one at that), to help in the transformation from source to destination. Most of our feeds and extracts are in a TEXT format in terms of records (which I think XSLT could handle pretty easily). And I was thinking of using Oracle's XSQL or some direct JDBC classes or beans that could handle specific XML schemas (I've used both of these methods with success). What types of pluses and minuses can you see if we start to write an in house tool with XSLT as the mapping technology? I would be especially interested in any peoples comments that have actually made this type of move to this kind of "in-house transformation tool". thanks, chad.
