Data Manipulation (including ETL)
Data Manipulation is the process of re-sorting, re-arranging
and otherwise moving research data, without fundamentally changing
it.
This is used both as a preparatory technique - i.e. as a precursor
to some other activity - or as a means of exploring the data as an analytic
tool in its own right.
ETL is the Acronym for the operation of
Extract, Transform & Load - three database functions that are combined into
one tool to pull data out of one database and place it into another
database.
ETL is used to migrate data from one database to another, to
convert databases from one format or type to another, and to form Data
Warehouses.
Database Consultants can take your data, and transform it
to your requirements.
