What our users say


"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."
1. Log in to the Oracle database as a user with the necessary permissions to read the data that needs to be exported.
2. Identify the data you wish to move. Determine which tables or subsets of data will be transferred to Teradata.
3. Optimize the database for export by gathering fresh statistics on the tables and indexes to ensure efficient data retrieval.
4. Ensure sufficient space for the export file on the server or on an external storage device.
1. Use Oracle's `exp` utility or `expdp` (Data Pump) if you're using Oracle 10g or later. Data Pump is faster and more flexible.
2. Create a parameter file (optional) to store your export parameters. This can simplify the command you'll need to run.
3. Execute the export command with the appropriate parameters. Here's an example using Data Pump:
```shell
expdp username/password@service_name DIRECTORY=export_dir DUMPFILE=export_file.dmp TABLES=table1,table2 SCHEMAS=schema_name
```
Replace `username`, `password`, `service_name`, `export_dir`, `export_file.dmp`, `table1`, `table2`, and `schema_name` with your actual values.
4. Monitor the export process for any errors or warnings in the log file.
1. Convert the dump file to a flat file if necessary. You might need to use Oracle utilities or write custom scripts to convert the data into a Teradata-compatible format (usually delimited text).
2. Transfer the flat file to the Teradata server or to a location accessible by the Teradata server.
1. Log in to the Teradata system as a user with the necessary permissions to create tables and load data.
2. Create the target tables in Teradata with the same structure as the Oracle tables. Make sure the data types are compatible.
3. Define the primary index for performance optimization.
1. Use Teradata's `BTEQ` utility for batch processing or `FastLoad` for larger datasets.
2. Write a control file for the loading utility, specifying the file format, error handling, and other options.
3. Execute the loading command. Here's an example using `BTEQ`:
```shell
bteq < load_script.btq
```
And an example `load_script.btq` might look like this:
```sql
.LOGON td_server/username,password;
DATABASE target_database;
.IMPORT VARTEXT ',' FILE=flat_file_path;
.REPEAT * USING (col1 VARCHAR(100), col2 INTEGER, ...)
INSERT INTO target_table (col1, col2, ...);
.LOGOFF;
```
Replace `td_server`, `username`, `password`, `target_database`, `flat_file_path`, `target_table`, and the column definitions with your actual values.
4. Monitor the load process for any errors or warnings in the output.
1. Perform counts and sample data checks on both Oracle and Teradata to ensure the data was loaded correctly.
2. Check for any discrepancies or data loss during the transfer.
1. Remove the flat file from the Teradata server if it is no longer needed.
2. Drop any temporary structures or files created during the export or import process.
Notes:
- The steps above assume that you have the necessary permissions and access to both Oracle and Teradata systems.
- The exact commands and syntax may vary depending on the versions of Oracle and Teradata you are using, as well as your operating system.
- Always test the process with a small subset of data before attempting to move large volumes.
- Consider the impact of character set differences and ensure proper conversion between Oracle and Teradata.
- Plan for downtime or a maintenance window if the data transfer affects production systems.
This guide provides a high-level overview. You may need to consult Oracle and Teradata documentation for specific commands and syntax tailored to your environment and data requirements.
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.
