"For TUI Musement, Airbyte cut development time in half and enabled dynamic customer experiences."

Chase Zieman

“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.”

Rupak Patel
"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."
Begin by exporting the data from your Oracle database using SQLPlus or any Oracle SQL Developer tool. You can use the `EXPDP` (Data Pump Export) utility for a more comprehensive export. Ensure the data is exported in a format like CSV or JSON, which can be easily manipulated and imported into Firestore.
If your data is not already in JSON format, use a script or tool to transform your exported data into JSON. This is crucial because Firestore natively supports JSON documents. You can write a Python script or use a simple tool to convert CSV to JSON, ensuring each row from the Oracle export becomes a JSON object.
Create a new project in the Google Cloud Console if you haven't already. Enable the Firestore API for your project. You will need this setup to authenticate and access Firestore via the command line or a custom script.
Download and set up the Google Cloud SDK on your local machine. Use `gcloud auth login` to authenticate your account and configure your project with `gcloud config set project [PROJECT_ID]`. This is required to gain access to Firestore and perform operations on it.
Write a script in Python (or another language that supports Google Cloud Client Libraries) to read the JSON data and insert it into Firestore. Use the Firestore client libraries to establish a connection and insert the data. The script should parse each JSON object and use Firestore’s `set()` or `add()` methods to insert data into the appropriate collections and documents.
Implement batch writes in your script to efficiently upload data to Firestore. Firestore limits the number of write operations you can perform per second, so batching can help reduce network overhead and improve performance. Use Firestore's `batch` API to group multiple write operations into a single request.
Once the data is imported, manually verify a few entries in the Firestore console to ensure the import was successful. Check for data integrity and consistency by comparing the data in Firestore with the original data in Oracle. You may also create automated scripts to validate the data if dealing with large datasets.
By following these steps, you can successfully transfer data from an Oracle database to Google Firestore without relying on third-party connectors.
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.
Oracle DB is a fully scalable integrated cloud application and platform service; it is also referred to as a relational database architecture. It provides management and processing of data for both local and wide and networks. Offering software-as-a-service (SaaS), platform-as-a-service (PaaS), and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), it sells a large variety of enterprise IT solutions that help companies streamline the business process, lower costs, and increase productivity.
Oracle DB provides access to a wide range of data types, including:
• Relational data: This includes tables, views, and indexes that are used to store and organize data in a structured manner.
• Spatial data: This includes data that is related to geographic locations, such as maps, satellite imagery, and GPS coordinates.
• Time-series data: This includes data that is related to time, such as stock prices, weather data, and sensor readings.
• Multimedia data: This includes data that is related to images, videos, and audio files.
• XML data: This includes data that is stored in XML format, such as web pages, documents, and other structured data.
• JSON data: This includes data that is stored in JSON format, such as web APIs, mobile apps, and other data sources.
• Graph data: This includes data that is related to relationships between entities, such as social networks, supply chains, and other complex systems.
Overall, Oracle DB's API provides access to a wide range of data types that can be used for a variety of applications, from business intelligence and analytics to machine learning and artificial 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.
