All your pipelines in minutes, however custom they are, thanks to Airbyte’s connector marketplace and AI Connector Builder.

Start syncing with Airbyte in 3 easy steps within 10 minutes

Set up a Vantage connector in Airbyte

Connect to Vantage or one of 400+ pre-built or 10,000+ custom connectors through simple account authentication.

Set up MongoDB for your extracted Vantage data

Select MongoDB where you want to import data from your Vantage source to. You can also choose other cloud data warehouses, databases, data lakes, vector databases, or any other supported Airbyte destinations.

Configure the Vantage to MongoDB in Airbyte

This includes selecting the data you want to extract - streams and columns -, the sync frequency, where in the destination you want that data to be loaded.

How to Sync Vantage to MongoDB Manually

Before exporting data, ensure that you have the necessary access permissions to the Teradata database and tables. Verify that you have access to the Teradata SQL Assistant or any command line interface like BTEQ (Basic Teradata Query) for executing SQL queries.

Use the Teradata SQL Assistant or BTEQ to export the required data from Teradata. You can execute a SQL query to extract the data you need. Save the output as a CSV file or another text-based format that MongoDB can easily read. For instance, you can use:
```sql
.EXPORT FILE=
SELECT * FROM your_table;
.EXPORT RESET
```
Ensure the data is well-formatted and clean for subsequent import into MongoDB.

Once you have the data in a CSV file, examine its structure to ensure it aligns with MongoDB's document model. Make any necessary adjustments to the CSV file, such as renaming columns to match MongoDB's field names or formatting data types appropriately.

Ensure that you have MongoDB installed on your machine. Additionally, install MongoDB tools such as `mongoimport`, which is a command-line tool used to import content from a CSV file into a MongoDB collection. You can download these tools from the MongoDB website if they are not already installed.

Before importing data, create a new database and collection in MongoDB to hold the data. You can do this through the MongoDB shell or using a GUI like MongoDB Compass. For example:
```shell
use myDatabase
db.createCollection("myCollection")
```

Utilize the `mongoimport` tool to import the CSV file into the MongoDB collection. Specify the database, collection, and type of file being imported. Here is a sample command:
```shell
mongoimport --db myDatabase --collection myCollection --type csv --file --headerline
```
The `--headerline` option tells `mongoimport` to use the first line of the CSV file as field names.

After the import process, confirm that the data has been imported correctly by querying the MongoDB collection. You can use the MongoDB shell or a GUI to run a simple query and review the data:
```shell
db.myCollection.find().limit(5)
```
Check for data integrity and ensure that all fields are correctly populated.

By following these steps, you can successfully move data from Teradata Vantage to MongoDB without relying on third-party connectors or integrations.

FAQs

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.

Vantage is a service that helps businesses analyze and reduce their AWS costs. Vantage's mission is to build a suite of tools that make it easy for engineering, leadership, and finance to analyze, collaborate on and optimize their cloud infrastructure costs.

Vantage's API provides access to a wide range of data categories, including:  

1. Financial data: This includes stock prices, market indices, and financial statements of companies.  
2. Economic data: This includes data on GDP, inflation, unemployment rates, and other macroeconomic indicators.  
3. Social media data: This includes data from social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.  
4. News data: This includes news articles from various sources, including newspapers, magazines, and online news portals.  
5. Weather data: This includes data on temperature, precipitation, and other weather-related information.  
6. Geographic data: This includes data on locations, maps, and geospatial information.  
7. Sports data: This includes data on sports events, scores, and statistics.  
8. Health data: This includes data on health conditions, medical treatments, and healthcare providers.  
9. Environmental data: This includes data on environmental conditions, pollution levels, and climate change.  

Overall, Vantage's API provides access to a diverse range of data categories, making it a valuable resource for businesses, researchers, and developers.

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 Vantage to MongoDB 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 Vantage to MongoDB 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.
