Here is simple usage example: Download files from an FTP server, load them into the database, run stored procedure or SQL script and send email to the admin, once the package is completed. Unlike Oracle SQL loader, BCP, DTS or SSIS, Visual Importer Enterprise can also add new and update old records based on user defined primary key.

Let's say, for example, you work at university and must publish results of exams from different departments. Visual Importer Enterprise can help you automate data processing without the need for more staff. It will enable you to process data sent via email and FTP without user intervention. Simply create a dedicated email account, design a package and that's it - start processing data!

Another unique benefit of using Visual Importer Enterprise its ability to load data from multiple files or tables using mask.

If there is a problem it is very easy to resolve: Every package execution is logged. In case of loading errors, Visual Importer Enterprise writes a detailed message into the log and writes a record into the rejected records file.

The Enterprise version includes execution agent, which can be run as a Windows service.
