Explore the Python architecture, create the source and destination, integrate data between PostgreSQL and Redshift, and between aws s3 buckets and Redshift, and implement inserts, deletes, transformations, and views.
Connect a Postgres instance via pgadmin, sync the countries, departments, and employees tables, and migrate the entire schema and data from Postgres into a Redshift data warehouse.
Configure a PostgreSQL source connector with host, port, user, TLS, and optional SSH tunnel; enable logical replication using test decoding or page output, and set changes to allow all.
Configure a Redshift destination in Fivetran, set host and port, and map databases Patron and Whiterun. Choose direct or SSH tunnel connections, whitelist AWS US IP, then save and test.
Sync data from Postgres to a Redshift warehouse using Fivetran, perform the initial sync, and create the PostgreSQL Artist Public schema with countries, departments, employees, and an audit metadata table.
Validate Syncdb data by inspecting the employees table and its column data types and schema. Note the new Fitton ID and Fitton Audit metadata, including the sync date and timestamp.
Resync the employees table from the source by selecting a schema and auditing the changes, capturing update IDs as a unique combination in the audit table for the target.
Understand Python metadata in Fivetran ETL, including per-table columns Patron ID, Frighten deleted, and Frighten sync timestamps, plus the Filter Audit table for sync object audits.
Manage source connector properties, view and filter logs, manage schema and three tables (countries, departments, employees), and configure sync, notifications, and pause or delete actions.
Sync data from an aws s3 bucket to a redshift data warehouse using the s3 connector, configuring external id, iam policy, and role for the locations.csv file under destination schema.
Syncs s3 data to redshift via an etl process, creating schema underscore s3 and tables locations, fighter, and audit, with metadata columns and a successful data load.
Insert a new employee record in the source, then sync it to the target and verify via logs and an audit table that only the new record was synchronized.
Delete Argentina and Australia entries from the countries source and sync again to observe fivetran marking deletions with a deleted flag and audit history in the target.
Learn to design transformations with sql statements or Dvb-t, trigger transformations on data changes or schedule them, and integrate Fivetran with DB2 core to run DB2 models.
Perform a sql data transformation that concatenates first name and last name with a space and retrieves salary to create employees_details, with scheduling by data refresh or time trigger.
Create transformation joining employees and departments, select columns, and create a view employees_view with full name and 10% salary increase; lowercase emails and append mail.com, then execute and test.
The building blocks of data organization are tables and schemas. You can think of a table as a file organized by rows and columns and of a schema as a folder that contains multiple tables. Each Fivetran connector creates and manages its own schema. Fivetran connector reaches out to your source, receives data from it, and writes it to your destination. Depending on the type of connector, Fivetran either collects data that the source pushes to us or sends a request to the source and then grabs the data that the source sends in response.
Fivetran’s responsibility
It is Fivetran’s responsibility to deliver up-to-date, accurate information in a cleaned and normalized schema - the canonical schema - at the lowest level of aggregation. It is our responsibility to regularly maintain the connector and evolve the canonical schema to reflect operational and product changes in the source systems. It is our responsibility to respond to any unknown operational breaking change in the extract and load from the source system to the destination schema.
Fivetran connects to all of your supported data sources and loads the data from them into your destination. Each data source has one or more connectors that run as independent processes that persist for the duration of one update. A single Fivetran account, made up of multiple connectors, loads data from multiple data sources into one or more destinations.
