I invented ELT.
No, duh, of course not... But: I and my then-colleagues, other DW consultants, started noticing some time in the early-to-mid-00s that what we were doing didn't actually follow the order of the "ETL" acronym, and occasionally commented to each other along the lines of "shouldn't this be called 'ELT' to be more descriptive?". So I don't quite get the "starting to notice this at ELT becomes more popula[r]" bit -- this feels quite old to me. Before most of the meteoric rise of Python.
- mr_toad 5y agoAll the warehouses I’ve worked on have used ELT more than ETL, going back 20 years or more. I think that at the coalface it’s always been the more common paradigm. It’s just that the people doing it are too busy writing code to write blogs.
