What our users say
"The intake layer of Datadog’s self-serve analytics platform is largely built on Airbyte.Airbyte’s ease of use and extensibility allowed any team in the company to push their data into the platform - without assistance from the data team!"
“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.”
“We chose Airbyte for its ease of use, its pricing scalability and its absence of vendor lock-in. Having a lean team makes them our top criteria. The value of being able to scale and execute at a high level by maximizing resources is immense”
First, you need to access the ClickHouse server. This can typically be done through SSH if the server is remote or through a local terminal if you are running ClickHouse on your local machine.
```bash
ssh user@your_clickhouse_server
```
Before exporting the data, you should know which table and columns you want to export to CSV. You can list the tables in ClickHouse using the following command:
```bash
clickhouse-client --query "SHOW TABLES"
```
Use the `clickhouse-client` tool to export the data to a CSV file. The following command will export the data from a specified table to a CSV file:
```bash
clickhouse-client --query="SELECT * FROM your_database.your_table FORMAT CSV" > your_data.csv
```
Replace `your_database` with the name of your database, `your_table` with the name of your table, and `your_data.csv` with the desired name for your CSV file.
After running the export command, you should now have a CSV file with the name you specified. You can review the content of the file to ensure that the data has been exported correctly:
```bash
cat your_data.csv
```
If you need to move the CSV file from the ClickHouse server to your local machine or another server, you can use `scp` (secure copy) or any other secure file transfer method:
```bash
scp user@your_clickhouse_server:/path/to/your_data.csv /local/path
```
Replace `/path/to/your_data.csv` with the full path to the CSV file on the ClickHouse server and `/local/path` with the destination path on your local machine.
Once the CSV file is in the desired location, it's a good practice to verify the integrity of the data. Check the number of lines and columns to ensure that they match what you expect:
```bash
wc -l your_data.csv # Outputs the number of lines in the CSV file
```
You can also open the CSV file with a text editor or a spreadsheet program like Microsoft Excel or LibreOffice Calc to visually inspect the data.
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.
