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 initiating the data migration process, thoroughly assess the structure of the data stored in IBM Db2. Identify the tables, views, and any specific data types or constraints that may need special handling. Understand the target schema in Apache Iceberg to ensure compatibility and plan for any necessary transformations.
Use the Db2 export utility to extract data from the database. You can execute SQL queries to export data into CSV or another delimited format. For example, use a command like `EXPORT TO 'data.csv' OF DEL MODIFIED BY NOCHARDEL SELECT FROM tablename;` to export tables. Ensure that the exported data is in a format that can be easily ingested by Apache Iceberg.
Set up your Apache Iceberg environment. Ensure that you have the necessary infrastructure, such as a Hadoop or Spark cluster, to manage the Iceberg tables. Create the target table structure in Iceberg using a SQL-like interface or via programmatic means, ensuring it matches the structure of the data exported from Db2 or is appropriately transformed.
Move the exported data files from where they were created to the storage location accessible by your Iceberg setup. This could involve transferring files to a Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS) or a cloud storage solution that your Iceberg environment can read from.
Use an Apache Spark job or any compatible processing tool to read the exported data files and write them into Apache Iceberg tables. For example, in Spark, you can read CSV files using `spark.read.csv("path/to/data.csv")` and then write to Iceberg using `write.format("iceberg").mode("append").save("iceberg_table_name")`. Ensure that any necessary data transformations are performed during this step.
Once the data is ingested into Iceberg, perform thorough checks to ensure data integrity and consistency. This may include counting records, checking for null values, and verifying data types and constraints. Compare these results with the original data in Db2 to ensure accuracy.
Post ingestion, optimize the Iceberg tables to enhance performance. This involves compacting small files, reordering data, and building any necessary indexes. Use Iceberg's built-in features to perform these tasks, ensuring that your data is structured for efficient querying and analysis.
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.
Specializing in the development and maintenance of Android, iOS, and Web applications, DB2’s AI technology offers fast insights, flexible data management, and secure data movement to businesses globally through its IBM Cloud Pak for Data platform. Companies rely on DB2’s AI-powered insights and secure platform and save money with its multimodal capability, which eliminates the need for unnecessary replication and migration of data. Additionally, DB2 is convenient and will run on any cloud vendor.
IBM Db2 provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Relational data: This includes tables, views, and indexes that are organized in a relational database management system (RDBMS).
2. Non-relational data: This includes data that is not organized in a traditional RDBMS, such as NoSQL databases, JSON documents, and XML files.
3. Time-series data: This includes data that is collected over time and is typically used for analysis and forecasting, such as sensor data, financial data, and weather data.
4. Geospatial data: This includes data that is related to geographic locations, such as maps, satellite imagery, and GPS coordinates.
5. Graph data: This includes data that is organized in a graph structure, such as social networks, recommendation engines, and knowledge graphs.
6. Machine learning data: This includes data that is used to train machine learning models, such as labeled datasets, feature vectors, and model parameters.
Overall, IBM Db2's API provides access to a diverse range of data types, making it a powerful tool for data management and analysis.
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.
