ETL Architecture
Conventional Integration Process: ETL

This integration process is also known as an extract, transform, and load (ETL) process.
The first part of an ETL process involves extracting data from the source systems. Most data
warehousing projects consolidate data from different source systems.
The transform stage applies a series of rules or functions to the data extracted from the source
to derive the data for loading into the target. (such as filtering, joining, sorting, and so on) may
be required to meet the business and technical needs of the target database.
The load phase loads the data into the target, usually the data warehouse.
ELT Architecture
Extract
The first step in the ELT process is extracting data from various sources. Each of the source systems
may store its data in a completely different format. The sources are usually flat files or RDBMS, but
almost any data storage can be used as a source for an ELT process.
Load
This step involves loading the data into the destination target, which might be a database or data
warehouse.
Transform
After the data has been extracted and loaded, the next step is to transform the data according to a
set of business rules. The data transformation may involve various operations including, but not
limited to filtering data, sorting data, aggregating data, joining data, cleaning data, generating
calculated data based on existing values, and validating data.
