My name is Joseph Clemmow and I am a Data Migration manager for Vodafone.
We are currently exploring ways of streamlining our Data Migration process
and we have considered Cygwin as a potential data reconciliation model.
However we are unsure of how to implement it in our current reconciliation
process. Would it be possible for an employee of Cygwin to do a possible
demonstration of the platform in front of a group session?
Impossible as there are no employees, only volunteers.
That said, consider Cygwin as like an integrated and interoperable Windows
hosted Linux distro with over 12k packages, including many from GNU and most of
the important ones, and X.org X Window servers, with many popular X Window
desktop environments available, and many X Window GUI client applications.
Just follow the instructions to download and run the Windows GUI Cygwin Setup
program (developed and built using Cygwin tools), choose packages you might use
on Linux to do your work, let the installer complete, and use the shortcuts to
start using X Window GUI desktops, clients, terminal emulators, and setup
daemons to run as Windows services.
Importantly for your type of use case: cron, HDF4/5, sqlite, Berkeley DB, Maria
DB, PostGres pgsql, Apache httpd, and PHP are available, and any Windows native
program can be run under a Cygwin console or launched in a window.
