Prototype of a Web ETL Tool
Extract, Transform and Load (ETL) is a process that makes it possible to extract data from operational data sources, to transform data in the way needed for data warehousing purposes and to load data into a Data Warehouse (DW). ETL process is the most important part when building the data warehouse. Because the ETL process is a very complex and time consuming, this paper presents a prototype of a web ETL tool that offers step-by-step guidance through the entire process to the end user.
