What our users say

Andre Exner

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

Chase Zieman

“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.”

Rupak Patel
"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."
First, export the data from ClickHouse into a file format that can be easily transferred. Use the `clickhouse-client` tool with the `--query` option to export data. Choose a format like CSV for simplicity. For example:
```
clickhouse-client --query="SELECT * FROM your_table" --format=CSV > data_export.csv
```
Ensure you have access to your Firebolt account and have the necessary permissions to create tables and import data. Log in to your Firebolt account and identify or create the database and table structure that will receive the data from ClickHouse.
Before importing data, create the table in Firebolt that matches the schema of your ClickHouse data. Use the Firebolt SQL Editor to execute a `CREATE TABLE` statement. Ensure that the data types and column names match the exported data:
```sql
CREATE TABLE your_table (
column1 DataType1,
column2 DataType2,
...
);
```
Upload the exported CSV file to a storage location accessible by Firebolt. This could be an S3 bucket or another cloud storage solution. Ensure that Firebolt has the necessary permissions to access this storage location.
Use the Firebolt `COPY INTO` command to load your data from the storage location into your Firebolt table. Execute a SQL command similar to the following:
```sql
COPY INTO your_table
FROM 's3://your-bucket/data_export.csv'
CREDENTIALS = (aws_key_id='your_key' aws_secret_key='your_secret')
FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = CSV);
```
After loading the data, perform checks to ensure that the data in Firebolt matches the original data in ClickHouse. Use SQL queries to count records, sum numerical columns, or perform other checks to verify that the data has been imported correctly:
```sql
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM your_table;
```
Finally, optimize the loaded data for performance by creating appropriate indexes and partitions. Firebolt allows you to create primary indexes and other optimizations to enhance query performance:
```sql
CREATE INDEX idx_column1 ON your_table (column1);
```
By following these steps, you can successfully move your data from ClickHouse to Firebolt without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
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.
An open-source database management system for online analytical processing (OLAP), ClickHouse takes the innovative approach of using a column-based database. It is easy to use right out of the box and is touted as being hardware efficient, extremely reliable, linearly scalable, and “blazing fast”—between 100-1,000x faster than traditional databases that write rows of data to the disk—allowing analytical data reports to be generated in real-time.
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.
