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."
Begin by exporting the data from ClickHouse. You can use ClickHouse's `SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE` command to export the data into a CSV file. Ensure the data is exported in a format that Snowflake can easily read, such as CSV or TSV, and store it locally on your machine or a dedicated server.
Check the exported data for consistency and accuracy. Ensure that the data types and formats are compatible with Snowflake's requirements. For instance, ensure date formats and numeric precision are consistent with those expected by Snowflake.
Log into your Snowflake account and set up an internal stage to temporarily hold your data. You can create a stage using the command `CREATE STAGE ;`. This stage will act as a holding area for your data files before loading them into a Snowflake table.
Use the Snowflake web interface, SnowSQL command line tool, or any secure file transfer method to upload the exported data files from your local system or server to the Snowflake stage. If using SnowSQL, the command `PUT file:///data.csv @;` can be used to upload your files to the stage.
Define and create a table in Snowflake that matches the schema of the exported ClickHouse data. Use the `CREATE TABLE` command to set up the table with the necessary columns and data types. Make sure the table structure aligns with the data format you exported.
Load the data from the Snowflake stage into your newly created table. Use the `COPY INTO` command from Snowflake to move the data from the stage to the table. For example: `COPY INTO FROM @/data.csv FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = 'CSV');`. Adjust the file format options as necessary.
Once the data is loaded, verify the data integrity and accuracy by running some queries to compare the data in Snowflake against the original data in ClickHouse. After verification, you can clean up by removing the files from the Snowflake stage using the `REMOVE` command, and drop the stage if it is no longer needed.
By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer data from ClickHouse to Snowflake 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.
