Vern Rabe
The Ultimate ETL Stored Procedure Template
Do you process data from externally sourced “landing” tables to “staging” tables? Or from “staging” tables to an ODS? Or from an ODS to a DataWarehouse? These processes are typically done with ETL (extract, transform, load) stored procedures. In this session we will build, one step at a time, the ultimate template that can be used to create all of these stored procedures. The template covers error handling, deadlock detection and recovery, the ever-important logging, transaction management, incremental loading, and more. Starting with a basic structure, we will step through adding features one at a time to the template, explaining each as we go.
Use some of the features or all of them – your stored procedures will be more stable, extensible, and troubleshoot-able.
