"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 examining your DynamoDB tables and their schema. Note the data types and relationships present in your DynamoDB tables, as this will guide how you map this data to your SQL Server schema. Make a list of all tables, their primary keys, and any attributes that you need to transfer.
Install and configure the AWS Command Line Interface (CLI) on your local machine or server. Use the AWS CLI to export data from DynamoDB. You can use the `aws dynamodb scan` command to retrieve all the data from your tables. Redirect this output to a JSON or CSV file for easier manipulation.
Using a scripting language like Python, write a script to transform the exported DynamoDB data into a format that SQL Server can ingest. This includes converting DynamoDB data types (such as lists and maps) into SQL-compatible formats. Libraries like `pandas` in Python can help with data manipulation and conversion to CSV.
In your MS SQL Server, create a new database or use an existing one where you wish to import the data. Define the schema of your tables to mirror the structure of your DynamoDB tables as closely as possible. Pay attention to data types and constraints to ensure compatibility.
Use SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) or the SQL Server Import and Export Wizard to import the transformed CSV files into your SQL Server tables. Follow the wizard steps to map columns from the CSV to the appropriate SQL Server table columns.
After importing, run queries in SQL Server to verify that the data matches the original data in DynamoDB. Check for completeness and correctness by comparing row counts and sample data points. Address any data mismatches or errors by adjusting your data transformation script or import settings.
If you need to move data regularly, automate the entire process using scripts and scheduling tools. Set up a cron job (Linux) or Task Scheduler (Windows) to periodically run your export, transform, and import scripts to keep your SQL Server instance updated with the latest data from DynamoDB.
By following these steps, you can move your data from DynamoDB to MS SQL Server without relying on third-party connectors, maintaining full control over the process.
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.
Amazon DynamoDB is a fully managed proprietary NoSQL database service that supports key–value and document data structures and is offered by Amazon.com as part of the Amazon Web Services portfolio. DynamoDB exposes a similar data model to and derives its name from Dynamo, but has a different underlying implementation.
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.
