Extract, Transform and Load – ETL, forms the fundamental process behind any kind of data management.

ETL – Extraction, Transformation and Loading, is a trilogy of processes that collects varied source data from heterogeneous databases and transforms them into disparate data warehouses.

Extract:

  • Reads data from multiple data sources and extracts required set of data
  • Recovers necessary data with optimum usage of resources
  • Should not disturb data sources, performance and functioning

Transform:

  • Filtration, cleansing and preparation of data extracted, with lookup tables
  • Authentication of records, refutation and integration of data
  • Data to be sorted, filtered, cleared, standardized, translated or verified for consistency

Load:

  • Writing data output, after extraction and transformation to a data warehouse
  • Either physical insertion of record as a new row in database table or link processes for each record from the main source
