Moving Data From SAP to Snowflake

 SAP is an optimized data storage repository and database management system. However, it follows a transactional mode that often leads to delays in execution, especially in the current data-driven business environment. One of the major concerns in SAP is data access, as it does not clearly specify who gets access to data and for whom it is blocked. 

A solution to this issue is moving data from traditional ecosystems to the cloud, such as Google Big Query, Azure Synapse, Amazon Redshift, and Snowflake. This data movement ensures that the existing data can be replicated in several locations. Of all the possible solutions, one of the most optimized is to move databases from SAP to Snowflake.

The Benefits of Database Migration from SAP to Snowflake

  • Among the most important benefits of moving data from SAP to Snowflake is that the cloud-based platform Snowflake offers fully-managed solutions, such as data compression and storage, and high performance. Hence, there is no need to make any internal changes or build indexes.

  • Data, either from third-party applications or SAP, can be processed in the cloud in its native format, whether it is structured, semi-structured, or unstructured data.

  • Snowflake has a simple, user-friendly structure, and hence, SAP data can be easily processed on the platform. SAP customers are provided single-window access to actionable data, helping businesses to follow FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles.  

  • Snowflake provides unlimited data storage facilities. Users can download the quantum of data required only by paying precisely for the resources used. Unlike traditional databases such as SAP, there are no flat fees, thereby leading to substantial savings in database operations.

While moving data from SAP to Snowflake, both must be kept in sync to make it a seamless process. 

These are the benefits of moving data from SAP to Snowflake.

The Development of the Oracle Change Data Capture Technology

Image
  Oracle CDC ( Change Data Capture) was first launched by the company as a built-in tool in Oracle databases along with its 9i version. It was to record and track changes in the user tables in a database. These changes were stored in change tables to be later processed and transferred to other data warehouses and databases.  The first version of this technology had triggers placed in source databases and was not widely accepted, as it was considered too invasive. Based on this feedback from users, Oracle brought a change to the Oracle CDC , named it Oracle Streams, and released it with the 10g version.   The second version, named Oracle Streams, was more refined and widely accepted. It used the redo logs of the source database in combination with an in-built replication tool of Oracle Streams. Thus, any change was quickly noticed, with the change data being moved to a target data repository without affecting the performance or speed of the source database. What gave this...

How to Optimize Oracle on Amazon S3 Platform

Image
  Oracle is a proprietary relational database management system (RDMS). It is primarily used for Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) and data warehousing. Most applications, such as GNU/LINUX and Windows Server, merge easily into the database. Oracle is ACID-compliant, which adds an extra layer of security, data integrity, and reliability to the database. Given these attributes, why would organizations want to move databases from Oracle to S3 , the Simple Storage Service from Amazon? Amazon S3 is a cloud-based data warehousing solution that is ideal for Online Analytical Processing (OLAP). S3 ensures a high level of data availability, scalability, performance, and storage. There are several ways that S3 increases the efficiency of Oracle databases, with the most important being the lowering of payouts to Oracle. It is also wise to move entire databases from Oracle to S3, given the many benefits that such a move brings to the table. However, whether it suits specific organiz...

An Insight Into Microsoft SQL Server Change Data Capture (CDC)

Image
SQL Server CDC (Change Data Capture) uses SQL Server to make changes like insert, update, and delete. The details of the changes can be accessed in a simple relational format. All inputs to capture the changes to a target ecosystem, like metadata and column information, are available for the modified and changed rows. The changes are captured and stored in tables that mirror the structure of the columns of the tracked stored tables. Necessary table-valued functions control the access to this change data. The SQL Server CDC technology ensures a smooth flow of change data that is structured to help users apply it to various target platforms.   Types of SQL Server Change Data Capture There are two types of SQL Server CDC. Log-based CDC : Here, the transaction log and file of a database are analyzed by the system to know about the changes made at the source. Next, all changes made at the source are replicated to the target database. The main benefit of this form of SQL Server CD...
