Extract, transform, load: Phases, Design challenges & Variations

Extract, transform, load (ETL) is a three-phase computing process where data are extracted from an input source, transformed (including cleaning), and loaded into an output data container. The data can be collected from one or more sources and it can also be output to one or more destinations. ETL processing is typically executed using software…
