Loading Data From Database to Datawarehouse

  • Hi All

    I want to load data from database(Adventureworks) to Datawarehouse(AdventureworksDw) and i should also build some reports on it

    Can anyone tell me the procedure how to do that. I really appreciate your help. Thank you

  • Pretty much any method for moving data will work. If you're trying to practice an enterprise approach, I'd suggest building a full SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS) package and do it that way. But really, you could just do INSERT...SELECT... and get the job done.

  • I agree with Grant, if the idea is to "practice" datawarehousing think of this data movement as a whole ETL a.k.a. Extract, Transform & Load - process.

    Remember, datawarehousing has two sides... ETL side and Reporting side.

  • There's no set procedure to do this. You'll need to decide what you want the warehouse to look like. What scheme you'd want in there, and then use T-SQL or SSIS or some other method to transform the data.

  • I think this thread is also a part of the other thread started by this OP.

    Both are same question, just phrased differently.

    To build your datawarehouse is more than a single day project. In order for us to be able to assist, we will need to know what you have attempted so far to do with it.
