The Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) system is the foundation of the data
warehouse. A properly designed ETL system extracts data from the source
systems, enforces data quality and consistency standards, conforms data
so that separate sources can be used together, and finally delivers data
in a presentation-ready format so that...
