How to load data from Oracle DB to Firebolt

Learn how to use Airbyte to synchronize your Oracle DB data into Firebolt within minutes.

Building your pipeline or Using Airbyte

Airbyte is the only open source solution empowering data teams  to meet all their growing custom business demands in the new AI era.

Building in-house pipelines

Bespoke pipelines are:
  • Inconsistent and inaccurate data
  • Laborious and expensive
  • Brittle and inflexible
Furthermore, you will need to build and maintain Y x Z pipelines with Y sources and Z destinations to cover all your needs.

After Airbyte

Airbyte connections are:
  • Reliable and accurate
  • Extensible and scalable for all your needs
  • Deployed and governed your way
All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

How to Sync to Manually

Step 1: Prepare the Oracle Database

Begin by ensuring that the Oracle database is accessible and that you have the necessary credentials to access it. Verify that the tables you want to export are in a consistent state, and if necessary, perform any data transformations or cleaning within Oracle.

Step 2: Export Data from Oracle to CSV

Use Oracle's SQL*Plus or SQL Developer to export the data into CSV files. You can execute a SQL query to select the data you need and redirect the output to a CSV file. For example, in SQL*Plus, use the `SPOOL` command to export data:
```sql
SPOOL exported_data.csv
SELECT * FROM your_table;
SPOOL OFF;
```

Step 3: Transfer CSV Files to Firebolt

Transfer the exported CSV files to a location accessible by Firebolt. This could be an Amazon S3 bucket, as Firebolt can directly access data stored in S3. Use a tool like AWS CLI to upload the files:
```bash
aws s3 cp exported_data.csv s3://your-bucket-name/
```

Step 4: Prepare Firebolt Environment

Set up your Firebolt environment by creating the necessary database and tables to match the schema of your Oracle data. Use Firebolt's SQL interface to define tables with appropriate data types and structures.

Step 5: Load Data into Firebolt

Use Firebolt's COPY command to load data from the CSV files stored in S3 into your Firebolt tables. The COPY command allows specifying the data source and target table:
```sql
COPY INTO firebolt_table
FROM 's3://your-bucket-name/exported_data.csv'
CREDENTIALS
(AWS_KEY_ID='', AWS_SECRET_KEY='')
FILE_FORMAT = (TYPE = CSV, FIELD_DELIMITER = ',', HEADER = TRUE);
```

Step 6: Verify Data Integrity

After loading the data, perform checks to ensure data integrity. Compare row counts and key metrics between Oracle and Firebolt datasets to verify successful migration. Use SQL queries in Firebolt to perform these checks.

Step 7: Optimize Firebolt Tables

Once the data is loaded and verified, optimize the Firebolt tables for performance. Consider using Firebolt's features such as indexing and partitioning to enhance query performance. Regularly analyze and reorganize tables as necessary to maintain performance.

By following these steps, you can manually transfer data from Oracle to Firebolt without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.
