"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.”

"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 logging into your Smartsheet account. Navigate to the sheet you want to export. Click on "File" > "Export" > "Export to CSV". This will download a CSV file of your data, which can be easily used for data manipulation and import into MySQL.
Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet application, like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, to review and clean the data if necessary. Ensure there are no inconsistencies or formatting issues such as extraneous commas or mismatched quotes. Save the cleaned file as a CSV.
If you haven't already, install MySQL Server on your system. Use the MySQL Workbench or command line to create a new database. For example, you can use the command:
```sql
CREATE DATABASE my_database;
```
Ensure that you have the necessary permissions and access to the MySQL server.
Define the MySQL table structure that matches the columns in your CSV file. Use the MySQL Workbench or the command line to create a table. For example:
```sql
USE my_database;
CREATE TABLE my_table (
id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
column1 VARCHAR(255),
column2 INT,
...
);
```
Adjust the data types to match those in your CSV file.
Open the MySQL command line or MySQL Workbench. Use the `LOAD DATA INFILE` command to import the CSV file into the MySQL table. For example:
```sql
LOAD DATA LOCAL INFILE '/path/to/your/file.csv'
INTO TABLE my_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
ENCLOSED BY '"'
LINES TERMINATED BY '\n'
IGNORE 1 ROWS;
```
Make sure the file path is correct and accessible by MySQL, and adjust the delimiters as required.
After loading the data, verify the import by running a simple `SELECT` query in MySQL:
```sql
SELECT * FROM my_table LIMIT 10;
```
Check if the data appears correctly and matches the original data from Smartsheet.
For recurring data transfers, consider automating the process using a script. You can write a shell script or a Python script using libraries like `pandas` and `mysql-connector-python` to automate the export, cleaning, and loading steps. Schedule this script using cron jobs on Linux or Task Scheduler on Windows for regular execution.
By following these steps, you can effectively move data from Smartsheet to a MySQL destination without relying on third-party tools.
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.

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.
