Embodiments are disclosed for improved data modeling in a relational database management system. In the context of a method, an example embodiment includes ingesting, by data ingestion circuitry and using a set of standardized plumbing fields comprising descriptive fields including at least a stage table primary key field, a source primary key field, and a source attribute field, one or more records into one or more stage tables in a staging layer. This example embodiment further includes generating, by data modeling circuitry and using the one or more stage tables in the staging layer, a data integration layer for modeling data represented by the data ingested into the one or more stage tables in the staging layer. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.

Methods and apparatuses for improved data ingestion using standardized plumbing fields

Embodiments are disclosed for improved data modeling in a relational database management system. In the context of a method, an example embodiment includes ingesting, by data ingestion circuitry, one or more records into one or more stage tables in a staging layer. This example embodiment further includes generating, by data modeling circuitry, a data alignment table defining a unique set of data fields, and generating, by the data modeling circuitry and using the one or more stage tables and the data alignment table, a key mapping table identifying correspondences between data fields in the one or more stage tables and data fields in the data alignment table. Corresponding apparatuses and computer program products are also provided.
