  Extract, transform, load - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ETL is important, as it is the way data actually gets loaded into the warehouse.
A good ETL tool must be able to communicate with the many different relational databases and read the various file formats used throughout an organization.
ETL tools have started to migrate into Enterprise Application Integration, or even Enterprise Service Bus, systems that now cover much more than just the extraction, transformation and loading of data.

 Getting the Truth Out of Your Data Warehouse   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Within a level, such as the DEV environment, multiple ETL developers may be working on various aspects of a larger project, and each of these projects can benefit from metadata independence during the early development phase.
Of all of the data warehousing development activities, the ETL process is usually the most time-consuming and difficult to design and operate.
ETL, after all, is about extraction, transformation and loading to support business intelligence needs, the bottom-line reason for this entire process.

 Criteria for ETL Product Selection - DMReview   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
Some ETL tools support many sources and targets but execute only on a lower-end platform such as Windows, restricting the ability to scale to very large data volumes without adding more servers and the management and licensing overhead that entails.
Since ETL is not usually as simple as taking data from one place and copying it to another, your chosen tool must be able to handle the kinds of data transformations you expect.
There are cases where it may be necessary to call an ETL job from outside the environment, to check the status of running jobs, to halt or restart sessions or to otherwise use and manage the ETL environment.

 Safe Software | What is Spatial ETL?
ETL tools are used either to acquire a temporary subset of data for a customized report or a specific business application, or to obtain a more permanent dataset to populate a data warehouse in order to convert from one datastore to another or to migrate from one datastore or platform to another.
Spatial ETL products are designed to provide the same bottom-line benefit as traditional ETL systems, but with one distinct difference – they also include the spatial world of an organization, either in helping it create spatial data or in capitalizing on the data it already has.
With Spatial ETL as a core data extraction and transformation tool, organizations have the opportunity to adopt a holistic approach to business operations, to streamline business processes and achieve cost transparencies, without sacrificing data integrity.

 jbiwiki: ETLSE
That is, ETL programs periodically extract data from source systems, transform the data into a common format, and then load the data into the target data store, usually a data warehouse.
ETL processes bring together and combine data from multiple source systems into a data warehouse, enabling all users to work off a single, integrated set of data — a single version of the truth.
ETL Integrator is an enterprise module optimized for extracting, transforming, and loading bulk data between files and databases.

 ETL Criteria
One of the goals of using an ETL tool is to allow for quicker and easier development, and management of what has been developed later.
When an ETL session completes, the data warehouse administrator should be able to view how much data was processed by each job, where the data came from, where it went to, and how long it took.
The additional clickstream criteria are something that will evolve over time as ETL vendors become more sophisticated in their handling of web-based data sources, and as the web analytics vendors begin to merge with more mainstream business intelligence and ETL companies.

 TDAN Taylor - ETL Tools
ETL tools can help to alleviate this nightmare of processing by providing a consistent, simplified solution to a recurring set of development and implementation problems.
An ETL tool is by definition an integrated suite of tools for the purpose of extraction, transformation and loading data warehouse data, an approach distinctly different than the more common warehousing solution of cobbling together a set of programs or tools to accomplish this same task.
While resistance for ETL tool use continues, the realization that these tools have significant value for warehouse development and for the enterprise in general is beginning to dawn on the IT world.

 ETL provides the keys to keeping data relevant, available
ETL tools are also preferable to custom programs because they can be used "out of the box"; there is no need to write code to open files, read records, and join tables -- these products perform those functions for you.
Whether you use custom coding, third-party ETL tools, or a combination of the two to move data from one system to another, a thorough understanding of ETL practices, as well as of your source and target applications, is essential to success.
ETL products let programmers quickly move data from one environment to another without requiring custom code to open files, join tables, read records, aggregate data, and so on.

 So what is better, ETL or ELT?
ETL (Extract, Transform and Load) is the coca cola in the challenge with Informatica and DataStage the champions in terms of license fees and market share.
The main reason that ETL tools have become successful is that traditional database or application coding is difficult to write and maintain.
If you run a stored procedure from an ETL job you get the chance to schedule it from an enterprise scheduling tool, add developer annotations to explain what it does, have some metadata show up in end to end data lineage reporting and impact analysis and have the procedure status show up in centralised logging.

 Understanding the File Option Choices for ETL Flat Files: “ASCII”, “EBCDIC” and “EBCDIC converted to ASCII”
ETL Flat File objects can be specified as being one of 3 file options: "ASCII", "EBCDIC" or "ASCII Text and EBCDIC Numbers” (the latter selection is displayed in ETL connection objects as “EBCDIC converted to ASCII”).
ETL determines the decimal value of each byte and interprets that decimal value according to either an ASCII or EBCDIC character map.
If an attempt is made to have ETL read this number as an ASCII filetype, it will uncompress the number and incorrectly returns 43.

 ETL Magic Quadrant Update: A Market in Evolution
For most of these vendors, ETL technology plays a supporting role to their flagship business intelligence offerings, or is one component of a broad offering including business intelligence and ETL.
Although the overall opportunity for ETL vendors is huge (more than 75 percent of data warehouse efforts deploy custom-coded ETL solutions) and several pure-play ETL vendors continue to lead, major infrastructure providers such as the DBMS vendors will own the majority of the ETL market share during the long term.
Even though most vendors and consumers of ETL technology place the bulk of their focus on product functionality, Gartner believes that a broader range of evaluation criteria is more appropriate (see "Gartner's Evaluation Criteria for the ETL Magic Quadrant," M-16-2939), particularly given the large number, different types and varying degrees of focus on ETL.

 ETL is a Symptom of the Problem, not the Solution! - DMReview
Performing extensive extract, transform and load (ETL) may be a sign of poorly managed data and a fundamental lack of a cogently developed data strategy.
Because each software package has its own proprietary database to support the application functionality, ETL is employed to move data between systems, which results in more duplicate data and costly ETL development and maintenance.
This is because a good use of ETL is to support operational reporting and analytics, where an acceptable amount of redundancy is necessary.

 The 38 Subsystems of ETL > > Intelligent Enterprise: Better Insight for Business Decisions
The extract-transform-load (ETL) system, or more informally, the "back room," is often estimated to consume 70 percent of the time and effort of building a data warehouse.
The "it depends" response is dangerous because it becomes an excuse to roll your own ETL system, which in the worst-case scenario results in an undifferentiated spaghetti-mess of tables, modules, processes, scripts, triggers, alerts, and job schedules.
Highly desirable (eventually necessary) that parallelizing and pipelining be invoked automatically for any ETL process that meets certain conditions, such as not writing to the disk or waiting on a condition in the middle of the process.

 The Evolution of ETL: TDWI
ETL tools also commonly move or transport data between sources and targets, document how data elements change as they move between source and target (i.e., meta data), exchange this meta data with other applications as needed, and administer all run-time processes and operations (e.g., scheduling, error management, audit logs, and statistics.)
The ETL workflows defined by developers in the graphical environment are stored in a meta data repository, which the engine reads at runtime to determine how to process incoming data.
Today, several DBMS vendors embed ETL capabilities in their DBMS products (as well as OLAP and data mining capabilities.) Since these vendors offer ETL capabilities at no or little extra charge, organizations are seriously exploring this option because it promises to reduce costs and simplify their BI environments.

 Enterprise Systems | ETL Increasingly Used Outside Data Warehouses
ETL isn’t a data warehousing-only play—companies are increasingly tapping it to support database consolidations and migrations, among other tasks
The most common reason organizations begin to deploy ETL outside of the bread-and-butter data warehousing space is to move data between disparate applications.
ETL may support data propagation, where data moves one way from a system of record to others,” Russom indicates, noting that ETL is also used to support data synchronization efforts, particularly for the purposes of business continuity planning.

Addition of a tool onto the ETL means that this tool may be named in a Verification Tool Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the NCSC and a system developer.
Removal of a tool from the ETL means that no *new* MOAs between the NCSC and system developers will be executed specifying that particular tool as the vehicle for formal specification and verification.
The ETL entry is intended as only a brief summary for quick reference and therefore should not be used as the sole source for choosing a verification tool.
