Incremental Data Loading from Databases for ETL

  pexel Let first discuss what is incremental loading into the data warehouse by ETL from different data sources including databases. Incremental Loading into Data Warehouses: Incremental loading is crucial for efficiently updating data warehouses without reprocessing all data. It involves adding only new or modified data since the last update. Key aspects include: 1. Efficiency: Incremental loading reduces processing time and resource usage by only handling changes. 2. Change Detection: Techniques like timestamp comparison or change data capture (CDC) identify modified data. 3. Data Consistency: Ensure consistency by maintaining referential integrity during incremental updates. 4. Performance: Proper indexing, partitioning, and parallel processing enhance performance during incremental loads. 5. Logging and Auditing: Logging changes ensures traceability and facilitates error recovery in incremental loading processes. Incremental Loading Explained In contrast to a full load,...
