What our users say


"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."


“Airbyte helped us accelerate our progress by years, compared to our competitors. We don’t need to worry about connectors and focus on creating value for our users instead of building infrastructure. That’s priceless. The time and energy saved allows us to disrupt and grow faster.”

"With Airbyte, we could just push a few buttons, allow API access, and bring all the data into Google BigQuery. By blending all the different marketing data sources, we can gain valuable insights."
Before moving data to ClickHouse, ensure your data is in a structured format such as CSV, TSV, JSON, or any other format that ClickHouse can natively import. Ensure that the data is clean and does not contain inconsistencies that might cause import errors.
Install the ClickHouse client on your machine. This can be done using package managers like `apt` for Debian-based systems (`sudo apt-get install clickhouse-client`) or `yum` for Red Hat-based systems (`sudo yum install clickhouse-client`). The client will be used to execute commands and queries on your ClickHouse server.
Define the schema for your data in ClickHouse by creating a table that matches the structure of your source data. Use the `CREATE TABLE` SQL command to define columns and their data types. For instance:
```sql
CREATE TABLE my_table (
id UInt32,
name String,
age UInt8
) ENGINE = MergeTree()
ORDER BY id;
```
Place the data files onto the server where ClickHouse is installed. You can use tools like `scp` to transfer files from a remote location to the server. Ensure that the files are accessible by the ClickHouse server and have the appropriate permissions set.
Use the `clickhouse-client` to import your data into the table you created. For example, if you are importing a CSV file, you would execute:
```bash
clickhouse-client --query="INSERT INTO my_table FORMAT CSV" < /path/to/yourfile.csv
```
Adjust the `FORMAT` part according to the format of your data file (e.g., `TSV`, `JSONEachRow`).
After the data import, verify that the data has been correctly inserted into ClickHouse by running simple `SELECT` queries:
```sql
SELECT FROM my_table LIMIT 10;
```
This will display the first ten rows of your table, allowing you to check for consistency and accuracy.
Once data is successfully imported, consider optimizing your ClickHouse tables for better performance. Use commands like `OPTIMIZE TABLE my_table FINAL` to optimize data storage. Additionally, monitor the performance and resource usage of your ClickHouse instance to ensure it operates efficiently as data volume grows.
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 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.
