Is anyone familiar with a code analysis tool along the lines of NDepend or JDepend for Powerbuilder?
I'm looking for something that can analyse dependencies and metrics such as SLOC, Cyclomatic Complexity etc. for a large, legacy Powerbuilder application.
The only code analysis tool I know for PB is Visual Expert. I've given it a look some time ago but have never actually used it, so I can't say if it does what the other tools you mention do.
Visual Expert is great. PBL Peeper can do these tasks as well, and it's free... :)
Visual Expert is good, but has some flaws. I tried it to analyze our server side code(EA Server) and found some issues. It's impact analysis feature is good to document a Dependency/Calling Hierarchy in the PB code.
I also tried, [PB code analyzer]:http://www.ecocion.com/pbca-powerbuilder-code-analyzer and it does a good job of documenting PB code.
I am not sure, if they do the metrics you are looking for. I found below links, googling(I didn't try these myself):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tools_for_static_code_analysis
http://documentation.microfocus.com/help/index.jsp?topic=%2FGUID.571F6E84.1EE2.4F68.80C7.B1DC863536CB%2FGUID-E418791C-B249-434D-BD5A-A2B570F9FA31.html
Recently I came across this tool called CAST
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CAST_Application_Intelligence_Platform
None of the other alleged metrics do any better than SLOC, and some are anti-predictive. Just run wc -l over your source files.

I am new to ETL and BI intelligence. I want to learn and work on Pentaho Spoon tool for ETL. I have searched a lot for a tutorial/blog or guide which should be an excellent and easy for a nascent user. i want this tutorial consisting of following things.
i. Which steps should be used?
ii. Where should we use any step?
iii. Which steps should be skipped and why?
iv. How to maintain the performance?
The performance is the main issue for me and i want to make a brilliant KTR's in the sense of time and memory.
Note: For me Stackoverflow is the best platform to ask such type of question's from an intelligent and wise peoples.
Read the Kettle cookbook ( Proper book, available on amazon ) it has all of this. This is far too much to answer in a single tutorial or q&a site!
The books "Pentaho Solutions" and "Pentaho Kettle Solutions" of Roland Bouman, Jos van Dongen and Matt Casters are recommended too. Further, the first book works with MySQL if it can be useful for you.
I've also read "Pentaho 3.2 Data Integration", because although it is about an old version, it was quite useful to start and understand how to use some transformations or do some tasks.
This questions seems let research,
butt still you can use Pentaho Data Integration Steps documentation where by going through each step you will get all answer for your question.

Are there any free tools providing snippets and syntax checking similar to Refactor in Visual Studio 2003/05/08/10?
#edit: To MSSQL, any version..
Take a look at this:
SSMS Tools
It offers snippets, basic formatting and a bunch of other features.
The only tool I know about is RedGate SQL Refactor. I have tried it a number of times, but I always end up uninstalling because it's not good enough to my liking.
You can try out free SSMS and VS add-in, ApexSQL Complete
ApexSQL Complete provides snippets and syntax checking and a lot of other features (aliases, the Insert procedure parameters automatically option , the Insert full INSERT statement option and so on)
Disclaimer: I work for ApexSQL as a Support Engineer

I know the community around Progress 4GL is highly lacking in activity, but the people on SO are a surprisingly resourceful bunch of guys!
I'm looking for a tool that is capable of creating a dependency tree for classes, include files, and other structures in Progress 4GL. Ideally it would have a command line interface so that it can be integrated into an automated build.
I would like to avoid rolling my own if I can help it. We have a 4Mloc code base, so a manually-generated dependency graph just won't work out very well. Is there any hope?
Thanks!
There is a very active community, but you need to know where to look. :)
See http://www.joanju.com/ for several tools which might be useful.
BravePoint might have some resources, but probably not free.
Also http://www.oehive.org/
I believe the free 10-year-old app below will do some of what you require, but was written for legacy Progress versions (ie. it will only recognize direct old-fashioned RUNs and includes, I think). As for rolling your own, or getting a start, it was written in c++ and the author may still have the source code if you email him...
Here's the link to the app
The Progress community can be found at various places in addition to the above (eg. Peg.com, ProgressTalk.com, PSDN.com, etc.), is relatively minute, but is hardly inactive.
My xref->TT tool can take apart xref strings from the COMPILE XREF statement and turns it into a set of temp-tables. You could then take that the temp-tables and use them to populate a database, after which I'm sure you'll post your code back to the community so others can take advantage of it. :)
I stopped working on it around ~2008, so it pre-dates the OOABL structures.

Anyone know of any examples that shows COM programming via Lua? Could require a library.
I need to write some external scripts for Photoshop, so wondering if it's possible with Lua.
Have a look at Lua for Windows. It contains LuaCOM. I haven't tried it myself, though.
As gimpf said, take a look at LuaCOM. You can either get it from its official site, which is the latest version (1.4). Unzip it somewhere and take a look at the folder "Demo", which includes examples for:
ADO
Powerpoint
SAPI (Speech API)
WMI
They are more like test cases than examples but you can get the idea.
You can roll your own system using CInvoke and some custom C/C++ code combined with Lua meta-tables.

From experience though I can't recommend this, it is pretty complicated and requires a lot of effort to get it right and make it bulletproof.

Okay, you don't need to be a guru, but if you happen to have a good working knowledge on SSIS and you used some tutorials around the web to get you there, then please share them. I have been trying to find some solid stuff (screencasts maybe), but I am having a hard time.
Any solid links would be appreciated and I will add them to this question in an aggregated format at the end. Thank you.
So far we have:
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson
http://sqlis.com
http://blogs.conchango.com/jamiethomson/ A very, very good place to start,
I would recommend en excellent series of articles by Marcin Policht
There are about 50 articles at the moment and each focuses on different aspect of the SSIS, they are pretty detailed and I found them to be an excellent source of information on the subject of SSIS
Another great resource besides Cochango (great blog btw!) is http://www.sqlis.com/
I also found these two books to be very helpful:
Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Integration Services
Expert SQL Server 2005 Integration Services
I read them in the order that they are listed above.
These links are mainly components, but they have good information resources also.
http://www.sqlbi.com/ - Some great SSIS components for data warehousing BI
http://www.konesans.com/products.aspx - Some more useful components
The current Jamie Thomson blog is located here, where he continues to write about ETL stuff:
