Hi all, new to Meltano and already Airflow and dbt users. Trying to grasp the delta. With Singer the taps are primarily for JSON sources? And you would still need another EL tool like Fivetran/Matilliion/Talend for more relational sources?

Hi @orange-art-32349! Singer (and therefore Meltano) can be used with any source with data that can be expressed in terms of streams, properties and records (~ tables, columns, and rows), including relation databases: https://meltano.com/plugins/extractors/mysql.html https://meltano.com/plugins/extractors/postgres.html

Hi Douwe, would it be possible to import sqlite as well?
Context: a lot of local apps (iphone, android, mac, apple watch) create SQLite databases. I’d like to stream new entries into a datawarehouse with meltano. Maybe this does not work out of the box.

@thousands-truck-32369 I'm not aware of a tap for SQLite, but there's nothing stopping you from creating one!
