Extract Transform Load (ETL) is a process that is made up of extraction, transformation and loading of data and its corresponding database during use. More specifically, it is used for obtaining data from external sources and adapting the data into an understandable format, which is continually reviewed for errors to meet the needs of the system. The data can then be transmitted to a receiving end.
