Frequently Asked Questions

What are the most common transformations in ETL processes?

The most common ETL transformations include data conversion, aggregation, deduplication, and filtering. Additional transformations are data cleaning, formatting, merging/joining, calculating new fields, sorting, pivoting, lookup operations, and data validation.

What is a 'staging' area, and why is it needed?

A staging area is an intermediate storage area used in ETL processes. It is utilized for auditing, recovery, backup, and improving load performance. Staging areas allow for comparison of original input with the outcome for auditing, help with recovery if a process fails, aid in backing up data, and facilitate quicker data loading.

What is the advantage of third-party ETL tools like SSIS compared to using SQL scripts?

Third-party ETL tools like SSIS offer faster and simpler development, can be used by non-technical people due to GUIs, automatically generate metadata, have predefined connectors for most sources, and can join data from multiple files on the fly.

What is better for ETL performance: filtering data before joining or filtering data after joining?

Filtering data before joining is better for ETL performance because it reduces the number of processed rows and avoids transforming data that won't be used in the target.

How can you prepare logging for an ETL process?

Logging for an ETL process can be prepared using flat files, logging tables, and the native logging and notification features of ETL tools. Logging is crucial for tracking changes and failures during a load.
