Why Should You Move Data From SAP To Snowflake

While SAP is an optimized data storage repository and database management system, concerns have recently been raised about delays in its systems due to its transactional nature. Other issues have been about who gets to access data stored in SAP and which non-transactional applications should be completely out of bounds to all. 

A solution to these issues is to move SAP data to data warehouses, preferably cloud-based, thereby ensuring that data can be stored in different ways and locations. The best in this regard is to move databases from SAP to Snowflake, due to the many benefits of Snowflake, a cloud-based data warehousing system. 

Benefits Of SAP To Snowflake Data Migration

There are many benefits of moving databases from SAP to Snowflake.

  • Due to the easy-to-use structure of Snowflake, SAP customers get actionable and accessible data in one place. It is thus easy for organizations to follow FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable) principles.  

  • Snowflake processes data in its native form, regardless of whether it is unstructured, semi-structured, or structured. This is also true for data from SAP and other third-party systems, even when changes have been made in the data structure of the SAP files.  

  • Snowflake is a Software as a Service (SaaS), and hence, data movement in the cloud-based data warehouse is managed automatically, including data storage and compression. There is no need to build indexes or carry out any internal changes. 

  • SAP data can be streamlined effortlessly and seamlessly in Snowflake. This provides credible and authentic business content to all users who can then simultaneously perform multiple intricate queries, report generation, and loading data without a drop or lag in database performance. 

The only precondition to loading data from SAP to Snowflake is that the two databases must always be in sync mode.

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...
