Yep. Which is why we pay *huge* daily rates for Informatica and
AbInitio contractors. You get the choice - absurdly hard doing it
manually, or absurdly expensive for people with the ETL tool experience.
And you don't even want to *know* about the difficulty we have finding
good Websphere people[1]. Or Control-M (which I'm still convinced is
not much more than a pretty front end to cron :-) )
Cheers

[1] and remember who my employer is. Even *we* go to the sodding
contract market. I'm tellin' ya - learn Websphere, be able to
communicate at a near-human level and you're gravy
