AdventureWorks ETL Teaching Lab

A reproducible ETL lab that demonstrates OLTP → dimensional modeling using AdventureWorks, Apache Airflow, and PostgreSQL. big_dataflow_chart(3)

Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 22.04+ or Windows WSL2
  • Docker Engine ≥ 24
  • Python 3.12
  • ~4 GB RAM for containers

Source Database

The AdventureWorks .bak file is not included in this repository (too large for Git). You must download it into db-seed/ before running bootstrap.

Important: download the OLTP edition (AdventureWorks2025.bak), not the Data Warehouse edition (AdventureWorksDW2025.bak). The lab depends on the normalized transactional schema.

Official install guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/samples/adventureworks-install-configure?view=sql-server-ver17&tabs=ssms

mkdir -p db-seed
curl -L -o db-seed/AdventureWorks2025.bak \
https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/download/adventureworks/AdventureWorks2025.bak

Note: the direct download URL above targets a specific GitHub release tag and may change. If it fails, find the latest .bak on the releases page: https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/tag/adventureworks

Quickstart

# 1. Clone and enter
git clone <repo-url>cd DataETL
# 2. Download the AdventureWorks backup (see "Source Database" above)
mkdir -p db-seed && curl -L -o db-seed/AdventureWorks2025.bak \

.venv/bin/pytest tests/test_load.py -v -m integration

Airflow Configuration

airflow/airflow.cfg is committed to this repository intentionally — it is a teaching artifact that makes Airflow settings visible and editable without students having to locate generated files.

All machine-specific paths in the file use ${AIRFLOW_HOME}, which Airflow expands at startup from the environment variable set by start_airflow.sh. No manual editing is needed after cloning.

Production note: in real deployments airflow.cfg should be excluded from version control (add to .gitignore). It is a generated file that may contain secrets. Use AIRFLOW__SECTION__KEY environment variables or a secrets backend instead.

Claude Code MCP Tool

The sql-query MCP server (tools/sql_query/) lets Claude Code query both databases directly.

.claude/settings.json is not tracked in git — it contains absolute paths specific to your machine. If you need the MCP tool, create .claude/settings.json and set the paths to match your repo location:

{
"mcpServers": {
"sql-query": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/DataETL/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/DataETL/tools/sql_query/server.py"]
}

AdventureWorks ETL Teaching Lab

A reproducible ETL lab that demonstrates OLTP → dimensional modeling using AdventureWorks, Apache Airflow, and PostgreSQL. big_dataflow_chart(3)

Prerequisites

  • Ubuntu 22.04+ or Windows WSL2
  • Docker Engine ≥ 24
  • Python 3.12
  • ~4 GB RAM for containers

Source Database

The AdventureWorks .bak file is not included in this repository (too large for Git). You must download it into db-seed/ before running bootstrap.

Important: download the OLTP edition (AdventureWorks2025.bak), not the Data Warehouse edition (AdventureWorksDW2025.bak). The lab depends on the normalized transactional schema.

Official install guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/samples/adventureworks-install-configure?view=sql-server-ver17&tabs=ssms

mkdir -p db-seed
curl -L -o db-seed/AdventureWorks2025.bak \
https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/download/adventureworks/AdventureWorks2025.bak

Note: the direct download URL above targets a specific GitHub release tag and may change. If it fails, find the latest .bak on the releases page: https://github.com/Microsoft/sql-server-samples/releases/tag/adventureworks

Quickstart

# 1. Clone and enter

Airflow Configuration

airflow/airflow.cfg is committed to this repository intentionally — it is a teaching artifact that makes Airflow settings visible and editable without students having to locate generated files.

All machine-specific paths in the file use ${AIRFLOW_HOME}, which Airflow expands at startup from the environment variable set by start_airflow.sh. No manual editing is needed after cloning.

Production note: in real deployments airflow.cfg should be excluded from version control (add to .gitignore). It is a generated file that may contain secrets. Use AIRFLOW__SECTION__KEY environment variables or a secrets backend instead.

Claude Code MCP Tool

The sql-query MCP server (tools/sql_query/) lets Claude Code query both databases directly.

.claude/settings.json is not tracked in git — it contains absolute paths specific to your machine. If you need the MCP tool, create .claude/settings.json and set the paths to match your repo location:

{
"mcpServers": {
"sql-query": {
"command": "/absolute/path/to/DataETL/.venv/bin/python",
"args": ["/absolute/path/to/DataETL/tools/sql_query/server.py"]
