ETL stands for extract, transform, and load. It’s a collection of processes that combine data from various sources and load them into data warehouses or other data repositories. ETL is crucial for providing data used for business intelligence and analytics.

In this course, you’ll experiment with extracting data from various database solutions such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, and MongoDB. You’ll use query and scripting languages like SQL, Python, and Apache Spark to process data and load it to data repositories or cloud solutions like Google’s GCP. Finally, you’ll learn how to schedule your ETL pipelines using cronjobs or automate and monitor them using open-source tools like Apache Airflow and Python’s pandas library.

After completing this course, you’ll have a strong grasp of various methods, tools, and techniques for transferring data from a source to its destination using ETL pipelines.

Transferring Data with ETL

What does the acronym ETL stand for?

Which data source is most likely to be used in an ETL pipeline?

Which data source is most likely to be used in an ETL pipeline?

Eliminating duplicate rows and fixing inconsistent data



Creating multiple indexes to optimize the performance of queries in the database

Aggregating the data using count, sum, min, max, or average functions

ELT pipeline transforms the data before the extract stage. This provides better flexibility to the transformation stage.

ELT pipelines provide more flexibility to the transformation stage. Users can change the logic of the transformation without having to extract and load the data again.

ELT pipeline is suitable for working with big data because it is a user-friendly tool and can be operated by non-technical users.

ELT pipeline transforms the data after the load stage. Users don't have to process the data according to a predefined format or schema, which is valuable when working with raw and unstructured big data.

A data warehouse is a data repository that stores historical data for analytical and BI purposes.


A data warehouse is a data repository that stores real-time data about transactions.

A data warehouse is a data repository used for backing up other databases.

A data warehouse is a general term for any database, OLTP, or OLAP.

A data warehouse is better designed to process transactions and ongoing operations.

A data warehouse is better designed to process large amounts of data.

A data warehouse is designed to handle a large number of small CRUD (create, read, update, delete) queries.

The data in the data warehouse is denormalized, which requires less complex join queries that cause heavy load and overhead.

What’s the name of the schema design choice that many data warehouses choose to use?

Data marts make it easy to access relevant and specific data for each department in the organization.

Querying and analyzing data from data marts is usually faster because they contain only a subset of the data that data warehouses store.

Data marts can help to reduce the complexity of the overall data warehouse system, making it easier to manage and maintain.

Data marts allow organizations to utilize parallel processing for heavy analytical tasks.

What’s not a benefit of data marts?
