ETL vs. ELT — What are they and when do we need them?

When we talk about data warehousing, we think of databases, which is only half of the solution. Data must be stored - this is why we need a database. But data must also be delivered into the database from a source. This is where ETL/ELT comes into the equation. Let's briefly explain what a data warehouse is and why we need one. It is a system used for storing and reporting data. Due to their design, data warehouses can process huge amounts of data, making lots of information available for business analytics.

SQL vs. NoSQL. The evolution of relational and non-relational databases

Databases are tools used daily by companies of all kinds. They make storing and transforming large amounts of data possible, and they are necessary for any data-driven business. But they had to come a long way before they became the databases we know today. Let’s take a look at the history of databases and learn how and why SQL and NoSQL have come to life. Since we, as humans, started collecting data, we also needed a way to store it. So naturally, the concept of a database came before computers. In the computer world, databases came into existence in the early 60s, when in 1962, the Oxford Dictionary first recognized the term “database” as a software system that stores and retrieves data.
