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."
First, ensure you have an AWS account with necessary permissions to use AWS Glue and S3. Create an S3 bucket where you will store the extracted data from Db2. Ensure you have access credentials (Access Key ID and Secret Access Key) for AWS, as these will be needed later.
Use the `EXPORT` command in Db2 to unload data from your database into a CSV file format. This can be done by connecting to your Db2 database and running a command like:
```
EXPORT TO '/path/to/exported/file.csv' OF DEL MODIFIED BY NOCHARDEL SELECT FROM your_table
```
This command will export the data from your specified table to a CSV file on your local system.
Once the data is exported, transfer the CSV files from the Db2 environment to a local machine that has AWS CLI installed. This may involve secure file transfer protocols like SCP or FTP, depending on your network setup.
If not already done, install the AWS CLI on your local machine. Configure it with your AWS credentials by running:
```
aws configure
```
Input your Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, default region, and output format when prompted. This will set up your local environment to interact with AWS services.
Use the AWS CLI to upload your CSV files to the designated S3 bucket. Execute a command similar to:
```
aws s3 cp /path/to/local/file.csv s3://your-bucket-name/folder-in-bucket/
```
This command uploads the CSV files from your local machine to AWS S3, making them accessible to AWS Glue.
In the AWS Management Console, navigate to AWS Glue and create a new crawler. Configure the crawler to point to the S3 bucket where your CSV files are stored. Set up an IAM role that has permissions to read from S3 and write metadata to the AWS Glue Data Catalog. Run the crawler to populate the Data Catalog with metadata from your CSV data.
Once the crawler has run successfully, create an AWS Glue ETL job. Define the job to read the data from the Data Catalog and perform any necessary transformations. Configure the job output to be stored back into S3 in a desired format (e.g., Parquet, ORC). Run the job to move and transform the data from the initial CSV format into a structured format suitable for your data analysis needs.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from IBM Db2 to AWS S3 using AWS Glue, leveraging native AWS services and capabilities.
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.
