Data serves as a fuel to each and every domain of the digitized world. No entity or sector is an exception for it. Basically, business and market research companies flourish over it. Since it has been half decade as being a data analyst in a reputed company, I have witnessed the methodologies adopted by these companies.

The credit goes to ‘Internet of things’ that has interlinked digital devices with one another. This concept is incepted just to bring information in flow. The information is the most refined face of databases that conclude into meaningful information. But can you imagine how such a big data is explored, extracted and refined to fine tune with the business operations? Let I explain the most crucial phase, i.e. data extraction, of data mining process. Catch the methods of extraction of data below:

Logical Extraction: Most of the data-based companies do research over which source system should be adopted. The selection of it depends on the parameters of relevancy and suitability to the business landscape. If your requirement demands logical extraction of data, then these two logical extractions can be relied upon:
Full Extraction: As its name suggests, the databases are fully extracted. For this, source file is targeted and extracted the complete logical database from there. Indian data extraction company takes intensive care while doing so that only the relevant and leveraging databases should be extracted. Therefore, there spares no chances to track changes to the data source. Having shifted it to data warehouse, there is no need to add more logical information in it.
Incremental Extraction: This extraction method enables the data fetcher to target the databases which have registered changes at a particular time-period. For example, the financial report of a company registered several new data entries during a particular financial year. Tracking the changes through change table or an application column from the source file reveals how many changes have been occurred. It is like tracking down the history in the computer system. The ‘Change table’ method connotes adding additional extraction to the source file. This method is useful for making comparisons between the previous and the latest databases.
Physical Extraction: The physical extraction method has been in routine.
Online Extraction: It is done online. Most of the Best data digitization services have started walking hand in hand with the digital trends. They know that internet connectivity is must in doing so. By it, source file is directly targeted for extraction. It enables to access the source file’s data in its preconfigured format.
Offline Extraction: By this method, source file is not targeted directly. But the extraction is done outside the original source system. Flat files, dump file, redo and archive logs and transportable tablespaces can be created for doing so.
