Begin by familiarizing yourself with the data structure in NetSuite. Identify which data records (such as customers, transactions, or inventory items) you need to export. This step involves reviewing NetSuite's schema browser or record type browser to understand the fields and data types.
Use NetSuite's Saved Search feature to extract the data you need. A Saved Search allows you to filter and display specific records, which can then be exported. Create a Saved Search for each type of data you want to move. Ensure the search includes all necessary fields and set criteria to filter the records as needed.
Once your Saved Searches are configured, export the data from NetSuite. Use the built-in export functionality to download the search results in a CSV format. Go to the Saved Search results page and select 'Export - CSV' to download the file. Repeat this for each Saved Search created.
Ensure your MS SQL Server is ready to receive the data. Create the necessary tables and define the schema to match the structure of the data exported from NetSuite. Pay particular attention to data types and constraints to ensure they align with the format of the incoming data.
Before importing, clean and transform the exported CSV files as needed. This step may include tasks like removing duplicates, correcting data types, and formatting dates. Use a tool like Excel or a scripting language such as Python to automate this process if necessary.
Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) to import the cleaned CSV files into the SQL Server database. In SSMS, you can use the Import Data wizard to guide you through importing CSV files into the correct tables. Ensure that you map columns correctly and handle any errors that might arise during import.
After importing, verify that the data has been transferred correctly. Perform checks to ensure that all records are present and fields are populated accurately. Compare the data in SQL Server against the original NetSuite export to confirm accuracy. Run queries to validate data integrity and consistency.
By following these steps, you can successfully move data from NetSuite to MS SQL Server without relying on third-party connectors, ensuring you have complete control over the data transfer process.
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.

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.
