CopyForce for SQL Server and H2 posted

Finally....I posted the first release of CopyForce for SQL Server and H2. This tools copies a Salesforce instance to a relational database. Copy all or a subset of the tables/data. Perform incremental updates.

CopyForce came about because of several business problems.

1. I needed a way to backup salesforce (just in case a malicious person or a fat-fingered person destroyed and recycled our data).
2. Often I need to scan an analyze larger chunks of data than the Salesforce governs like me to do. Though my sqlforce (http://code.google.com/p/sqlforce/) project gets around the govern problems, I often need the speed of a local RDBMS.

The first CopyForce (http://code.google.com/p/copyforce/) comes in two flavors.

• Microsoft SQL Server
• H2 (http://h2database.org). H2 is a brilliant small footprint ANSI/SQL database.

Hopefully the salesforce network can handle the volume. CopyForce grabs data (lots of it) as fast as a line will allow.
