The right way to identify and track changes in a database

 Every business wants to stay ahead of the competition curve, and for that, it all comes down to making smart, data-driven decisions based on insights. To ensure data works for your business, it needs more than just storing and siloing data away in servers and hoping it would get you the insights you need. To truly unlock the potential in your data, businesses need to be real-time with their data. This is where change data capture comes into the picture.

So, what exactly is change data capture? CDC is a set of processes used to record, insert, update and delete activity pertaining to a SQL data server table. Each time a change is made in a database, it is the job of the CDC to identify it. 



Therefore, CDC is used to enable real-time data movement for use cases like - data migration, data analytics, and so on. It’s a powerful feature but can get overwhelming for data operators, which is where software like Bryteflow comes into the picture. Bryteflow enables SQL server change data capture functionality to suit your environment and ensure you can continuously load and merge data without slowing down.

With Bryteflow’s solution, data-centric companies can take advantage of a better, faster, and more intuitive way for SQL server change data capture functionality for real-time replication.

The best part? Bryteflow supports both on-premise and cloud-hosted SQL server sources and does this in a high-performance way with zero impact on source.

What is Change Data Capture to A SQL Server Table

 SQL Server Change Data Capture (CDC) is a technology that monitors insert, update and delete activities applicable to a SQL Server table. This results in the details of the changes being available in a relational format that is easy to understand. The metadata and the column information required to apply the changes to a target database are captured for the modified rows and stored in change tables that replicate the column structure of the tracked source tables. Users are provided with table-valued functions that permit methodical access to the change data by consumers.   An example will explain this point. Consider that the data consumer targeted by the CDC technology is an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) application. In SQL Server Change Data Capture , the ETL application incrementally loads change data from SQL Server source tables to a data mart or a data warehouse. However, even though the source tables in the data warehouse reflect the changes made in the source tables,...
