Sun Microsystems Inc has been encouraging data warehousing tools vendors to write their tools in Java, and was keen to showcase some 100% pure Java certified data warehousing products at the Data Warehouse World show in Florida. The functionality of the various tools, all internet and intranet-enabled, spans what Sun sees as the three basic components of data warehousing: data extraction, data storage and data access.
