What is so special about the Data Services product?
Data Services is an ETL product like any other. But there are different product philosophies, one tends to do all inside its own engine - the traditional ETL tools, the other push down the entire processing to the database with its powerful engine - so called ELT tools. Both methods have their pro and cons and hence Data Services does both. Harder for us to develop, easier for you to use.
