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”
1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) and connect to your database instance.
2. Locate the database containing the data you want to move to Google Sheets.
3. Open a new query window.
4. Write a SQL query to select the data you want to export. For example:
```sql
SELECT * FROM your_table_name;
```
5. Execute the query to ensure it returns the correct data.
1. With the query results displayed, click on the top-left corner of the results grid to select all data.
2. Right-click on the selected area and choose "Save Results As..." from the context menu.
3. In the Save As dialog, choose the destination folder and enter a file name.
4. Make sure to select "CSV (Comma delimited)" as the save type.
5. Click "Save" to export the data to a CSV file.
1. Open the CSV file in a text editor or Microsoft Excel to review the data.
2. Ensure that the data is correctly formatted and that there are no issues with the delimiter or text qualifiers.
3. Save any changes if necessary.
1. Go to Google Drive (drive.google.com) and sign in with your Google account.
2. Click on the "New" button on the left side and select "File upload."
3. Locate the CSV file on your computer and select it to start the upload process.
4. Wait for the upload to complete.
1. Once the file is uploaded, right-click on the file in Google Drive and select "Open with" > "Google Sheets."
2. Google Sheets will automatically convert the CSV file into a Google Sheets document.
3. Review the imported data to ensure it has been correctly transferred.
1. The new Google Sheets document with your SQL Server data will be saved automatically in Google Drive.
2. Rename the Google Sheets document if necessary by clicking on the document title at the top of the page.
3. Share the document with others by clicking on the "Share" button in the top-right corner and entering the email addresses of the people you want to share it with.
Since this method does not involve automatic synchronization, you will need to repeat the process each time you want to update the data in Google Sheets. Consider scheduling regular exports from SQL Server and uploads to Google Sheets to keep the data current.
Additional Notes:
- This manual process is suitable for occasional data transfers but may not be efficient for frequent or real-time data synchronization.
- If you need to move large amounts of data or require more advanced features such as automatic updates, you may need to consider using third-party connectors or writing custom scripts that utilize Google Sheets API and SQL Server's capabilities.
- Always ensure that the data you are transferring complies with any applicable data protection regulations and that you have the necessary permissions to share the data with others.
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.

MSSQL - SQL Server provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
1. Relational data: This includes tables, views, and stored procedures that are used to store and manipulate data in a structured format.
2. Non-relational data: This includes data that is not stored in a structured format, such as XML documents, JSON objects, and binary data.
3. Spatial data: This includes data that is related to geographic locations, such as maps, coordinates, and spatial queries.
4. Time-series data: This includes data that is related to time, such as timestamps, dates, and time intervals.
5. Graph data: This includes data that is related to relationships between entities, such as social networks, supply chains, and organizational structures.
6. Machine learning data: This includes data that is used for training and testing machine learning models, such as feature vectors, labels, and performance metrics.
7. Streaming data: This includes data that is generated in real-time, such as sensor data, log files, and social media feeds.
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.
