What our users say

“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.”
Rupak Patel
"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."
Start by accessing your Teradata database using an appropriate SQL client or Teradata's own SQL Assistant tool. Execute a SQL query to retrieve the desired data set you wish to transfer to Google Sheets. Ensure your query is optimized for performance to avoid long execution times.
Once you have your query results, export the data to a CSV file. Most SQL clients provide an option to export query results directly to a CSV file. Choose a suitable file name and location on your local machine to save the CSV file.
Go to Google Sheets by visiting [Google Sheets](https://sheets.google.com) in your web browser. If prompted, log in with your Google account credentials. Create a new blank spreadsheet by clicking on the "+" button.
Before importing data, ensure your Google Sheet has enough rows and columns to accommodate the data from your CSV. You can add more rows and columns as needed. The default sheet usually has 1000 rows, which can be increased by clicking on the last row and selecting "Add more rows."
In Google Sheets, click on "File" > "Import." Then select "Upload" and drag your CSV file into the upload area or click "Select a file from your device" to locate and select your CSV file. Choose the "Replace spreadsheet" option if you want to overwrite the existing sheet or "Append to current sheet" to add data below existing entries.
After import, review the data for any formatting issues. Adjust column widths, fix any header rows, and ensure data types (like dates and numbers) are correctly interpreted by Google Sheets. Use built-in Google Sheets functions to clean or transform data as needed.
For future data transfers, consider writing a script using Google Apps Script to automate the process. This involves creating a Google Apps Script that reads data from a CSV file and writes it to Google Sheets. This step requires coding skills and is optional if you frequently need to update the data.
By following these steps, you can efficiently transfer data from Teradata to Google Sheets without relying on third-party connectors.
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.
