oracle and the link is given after that the package which

Answer / sunil
I think when during the ETL process ETL people will do the
connections to the required RDBMS in the form of ODBC
connections in taht way they can import the tables from
data source to target table (i.e in data ware house) data
warehouse acts as a data source to the BI modelers for
creating the interface.the project contains query
subjects .which contains the SQL statements.so ETL people
do the odbc connections during ETL process.
