How to Sync Pardot to Teradata Manually

Begin by exporting your desired data from Pardot. Log into your Pardot account, navigate to the "Reports" section, and select the data you wish to export, such as prospects, lists, or custom reports. Use the export functionality to download the data in a CSV format, as this is a widely supported file type for data manipulation and transfer.

Once the data is exported, open the CSV file using a spreadsheet application like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Ensure that the data is clean and organized. Check for any inconsistencies, missing values, or formatting issues in the data. Make necessary adjustments to ensure that the data is in a consistent and standard format that matches the schema of your target Teradata table.

Open the Teradata SQL Assistant or any other Teradata client tool that you use for database operations. Teradata SQL Assistant is a common tool used to interact with Teradata databases, and it allows for data import operations from local files.

Connect to your Teradata database by setting up a connection profile. Enter your Teradata database credentials, including the database server name, username, and password. Ensure you have the necessary privileges to import data into the target tables within the Teradata environment.

Before importing the data, create a corresponding table in Teradata if it does not already exist. Use the CREATE TABLE SQL command to define the table schema, ensuring column names and data types match those of your CSV file. This step is crucial to ensure that the data imports correctly without any type mismatches.

Use the Teradata SQL Assistant's import feature to load the CSV data into the newly created table. Navigate to the "Tools" menu, select "Import Data," and upload your prepared CSV file. Map the columns in your CSV file to the corresponding columns in the Teradata table. Execute the import command to transfer the data.

Once the import process is complete, verify the successful transfer of data. Run SELECT queries on the Teradata table to check for accuracy and completeness. Compare a few records from the CSV file with the data in Teradata to ensure data integrity and correctness. Make adjustments if any discrepancies are found, and repeat the import process if necessary.

This can be done by building a data pipeline manually, usually a Python script (you can leverage a tool as Apache Airflow for this). This process can take more than a full week of development. Or it can be done in minutes on Airbyte in three easy steps: 
1. Set up Pardot to Teradata as a source connector (using Auth, or usually an API key)
2. Choose a destination (more than 50 available destination databases, data warehouses or lakes) to sync data too and set it up as a destination connector
3. Define which data you want to transfer from Pardot to Teradata and how frequently
You can choose to self-host the pipeline using Airbyte Open Source or have it managed for you with Airbyte Cloud. 

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.

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.
