It does a query for every incoming row from the source, to find out if it exists on the target. Then based on the result it does an insert or update. This does not scale and it does not compare well with the Oracle merge function, This upsert step is very slow and inefficient.

There's a wealth of functionality in the product and I'm usually amazed at how many features are present. I totally understand the desire for a real sample solution. ie, here's your relational database and all the technologies (Chef and Spoon inside of Kettle) to move it from a relational to dimensional, the mondrian/pentaho configuration to go with it, etc. :) I'm working on these reference application as we speak... I just read the thread @ pentaho as well... I'm working on these "solutions" matt refers to. Feel free to use me/forums as a resource if you have specific feature questions. I'll be sure and post here the samples which won't be foodmart, but it will be illustrative in the same way. I bet you'll find it very helpful moving from the other tools you mentioned. Kind regards! Peter,

On the basis of this article I invested some time in installing the Pentaho stack and trying to learn the various parts of the solution. I would welcome a complete worked example of building something like the foodmart DW, a la the MSAS 2000 tutorial shipped with the Microsoft product. I offered this as a suggestion on the Pentaho forum for Kettle and was treated to an amazingly sarcastic response. For those of us familiar with other BI platforms, it would help to see a complete example rather than isolated examples of features, or minimal examples such as the Hello ETL sample. -- Peter Nicholas,
