Method and apparatus with data partitioning and parallel processing for transporting data for data warehousing applications

摘要

A method and apparatus for transporting data for a data warehouse application is described. The data from an operational data store (the source database) is organized in non-overlapping data partitions. Separate execution threads read the data from the operational data store concurrently. This is followed by concurrent transformation of the data in multiple execution threads. Finally, the data is loaded into the target data warehouse concurrently using multiple execution threads. By using multiple execution threads, the data contention is reduced. Thereby the apparatus and method of the present invention achieves increased throughput.
