"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."
Begin by ensuring your Oracle Database environment is configured correctly. Verify that you have the necessary privileges to access the data you wish to move. Install Oracle SQL Developer or another SQL client to interact with your database. Ensure you have the Oracle JDBC driver available for establishing a connection programmatically.
Download and install Apache Kafka on your system. Set up a Kafka broker by configuring the `server.properties` file to define broker settings such as broker ID, log directories, and network configurations. Start the Kafka server using the provided shell scripts (`kafka-server-start.sh`).
Use the Kafka command line tools to create topics that will receive data from Oracle. Execute the command `kafka-topics.sh --create --topic --bootstrap-server ` to create a new topic. Define the number of partitions and replication factor according to your use case.
Write a Java application to extract data from Oracle Database and publish it to Kafka. Use Oracle JDBC to connect to your database and execute a query to retrieve the desired data. Incorporate the Kafka Producer API to send data to Kafka topics. Ensure your application handles exceptions and errors gracefully.
In your Java application, implement any necessary data transformation logic. This might involve converting data formats, filtering records, or aggregating results before publishing to Kafka. Use Java's data manipulation libraries to efficiently process the data as needed.
Before deploying the solution, test the data flow from Oracle to Kafka. Run your Java application and monitor the logs to ensure data is correctly extracted from Oracle and published to the specified Kafka topic. Use Kafka's Consumer API or command line tools to verify that the data is arriving correctly in Kafka.
Deploy your Java application in a production environment. Set up monitoring and logging to track the application's performance and catch any issues early. Consider implementing a mechanism for error handling and retries in case of failures during data extraction or publishing. Regularly review logs to ensure the data movement process remains stable and efficient.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from an Oracle Database to Kafka without relying on third-party connectors or integrations, ensuring a streamlined and controlled data pipeline.
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.
