FAQs

What is ETL?

ETL, an acronym for Extract, Transform, Load, is a vital data integration process. It involves extracting data from diverse sources, transforming it into a usable format, and loading it into a database, data warehouse or data lake. This process enables meaningful data analysis, enhancing business intelligence.

What is MySQL?

MySQL is an SQL (Structured Query Language)-based open-source database management system. An application with many uses, it offers a variety of products, from free MySQL downloads of the most recent iteration to support packages with full service support at the enterprise level. The MySQL server, while most often used as a web database, also supports e-commerce and data warehousing applications and more.

What is Apache Iceberg?

For huge analytical tables, Apache Iceberg is a high-performance format. Using Apache Iceberg, engines such as Spark, Trino, Flink, Presto, Hive and Impala can safely work with the same tables, at the same time, providing the reliability and simplicity of SQL tables to big data. With Apache Iceberg, you can merge new data, update existing rows, and delete specific rows. Data files can be eagerly rewritten or deleted deltas can be used to make updates faster.

What data can you extract from MySQL?

MySQL provides access to a wide range of data types, including:

1. Numeric data types: These include integers, decimals, and floating-point numbers.

2. String data types: These include character strings, binary strings, and text strings.

3. Date and time data types: These include date, time, datetime, and timestamp.

4. Boolean data types: These include true/false or yes/no values.

5. Spatial data types: These include points, lines, polygons, and other geometric shapes.

6. Large object data types: These include binary large objects (BLOBs) and character large objects (CLOBs).

7. Collection data types: These include arrays, sets, and maps.

8. User-defined data types: These are custom data types created by the user.

Overall, MySQL's API provides access to a wide range of data types, making it a versatile tool for managing and manipulating data in a variety of applications.

How do I transfer data from MySQL to Apache Iceberg?

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 
1. Set up MySQL as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Set up Apache Iceberg as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

What are top ETL tools to extract data from

The most prominent ETL tools to transfer data from MySQL to Apache Iceberg include:
- Airbyte
- Fivetran
- StitchData
- Matillion
- Talend Data Integration
These tools help in extracting data from MySQL and various sources (APIs, databases, and more), transforming it efficiently, and loading it into Apache Iceberg and other databases, data warehouses and data lakes, enhancing data management capabilities.

What is ELT?

ELT, standing for Extract, Load, Transform, is a modern take on the traditional ETL data integration process. In ELT, data is first extracted from various sources, loaded directly into a data warehouse, and then transformed. This approach enhances data processing speed, analytical flexibility and autonomy.

Difference between ETL and ELT?

ETL and ELT are critical data integration strategies with key differences. ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) transforms data before loading, ideal for structured data. In contrast, ELT (Extract, Load, Transform) loads data before transformation, perfect for processing large, diverse data sets in modern data warehouses. ELT is becoming the new standard as it offers a lot more flexibility and autonomy to data analysts.
