Demonstration - Using DataPipe to perform in-database rectification

Why waste hours manually fixing data?
DataPipe fixes data problems with the data still in your database. You can perform complex search and replaces, cleanse and fix awkward text processing issues, all without programming. With DataPipe you can achieve in seconds what would take hours with other database tools or programming languages. Start taking control of your data NOW!

Every database contains some degree of invalid or incorrect data, usually because of operator error or programming errors. These errors can prevent normal processing of the data, can cause searches for the records to fail, and invalid data formatting can cause mail-merges of the data to look very unprofessional.

DataPipe includes TextPipe Pro and applies its amazing text processing capabilities to data in your database. TextPipe provides a huge range of filters for manipulating text. DataPipe's unmatched power comes from TextPipe's unique architecture and combining and arranging it's filters to suit each task. See Demo

Process Data From Anywhere
DataPipe connects to any industry standard OLE DB/ODBC database using database drivers provided by the database vendors.

DataPipe's database and table/query window
Choose the database and table or query that contains the data you need to modify (Click to enlarge).

Please see TextPipe if you need to extract data or process text files only, ResumePipe if you need to cleanse and process emails, or WordPipe if you need to search and replace in many MS Word documents, or ExcelPipe for Excel spreadsheets.

Lightning Fast Search and Replace
DataPipe offers the fastest and most powerful search and replaces:
  • Exact search (including multi-line and binary character search)
  • Pattern or wildcard search
  • 'Sounds-like' search
  • Fuzzy search (great for finding typing errors)
  • Click here for more details

The replacement text can include all or part of the original text or a re-arrangement of it, and the case of the replacement text can be automatically altered to preserve the case of the original text. The replacement text can also be modified by any combination of filters such as by converting it to Upper Case, performing further search and replaces inside the replacement text or even a database or dictionary lookup.

Manipulate Precise Sections of Text
DataPipe can manipulate specific portions of the text rather than the entire text, such as Line Ranges, Column Ranges, Lines Matching a Pattern and Lines Not Matching a Pattern. You can combine sections together, for example, to alter a specific line and column range. You can also apply further text manipulations to the Replaced Text in a Search and Replace operation, such as by making the Replacement Text UPPERCASE.

 
Enterprise Features
DataPipe's enterprise features include:
  • No limit on manipulations in a single pass - so if you have 8 million records, you only need to change them once
  • No limit on the number of records processed
  • Detailed audit logs to track job start and end times and unsuccessful updates
  • Restart control logic to resume aborted jobs
  • Precise control over cursor and locking options to optimize speed with your database.
CRM Integration
DataPipe makes it easy to connect to Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools like GoldMine, Onyx, Siebel, Great Elk, ACT!, Eipiphany and more.

The DataPipe Difference
DataPipe is not a traditional data manipulation application:

    DataPipe is the only database application where you can interactively search and replace through records in your database

    DataPipe's pattern matching AND replacing allows you to rearrange the text in a field e.g. swapping surnames and first names

    And DataPipe provides all this without the need for custom programming, however, ...

    ...If you need to perform custom processing, DataPipe allows you to write your own filters in industry standard VBScript, JScript or a variety of other scripting languages.

If you have trouble setting up transformations yourself, why not pay one of our data transformation consultants to do it for you?
