#dataBS I have a terminology question: I’m extracting more than one instance of a table from a single source (e.g., ERP customers). Same source db, same table definition, different data as they’re for separate entities. 1/2

I land them in a common data lake location and provide access using a view. It’s effectively a union but at the file level instead of SQL. Is there a name for this?

ETL 😀 I jest, but I don't think there is a special name for merging data into a single file
