Getting Started<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use Case 1: Simple Data Import and Transformation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SSIS Approach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In SSIS, you would typically:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Create a Data Flow Task<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add an OLE DB Source component<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add transformation components (Derived Column,

DB Destination: Dest_SalesData\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PostgreSQL Approach<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>PostgreSQL offers multiple approaches for the same task:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method 1: COPY Command (Fastest for Bulk Load)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>-- Create target table\nCREATE TABLE sales_data (\n    order_id INTEGER,\n    customer_id INTEGER,\n    order_date DATE,\n    product_id INTEGER,\n    quantity INTEGER,\n    unit_price NUMERIC(10,2),\n    total_amount NUMERIC(10,2)\n);\n\n-- Import data from CSV\nCOPY sales_data(order_id, customer_id, order_date, product_id, quantity, unit_price)\nFROM '\/path\/to\/sales_data.csv'\nWITH (FORMAT csv, HEADER true);\n\n-- Add calculated column transformation\nUPDATE sales_data\nSET total_amount = quantity * unit_price\nWHERE total_amount IS NULL;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method 2: INSERT with SELECT (For Transformations)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>-- Insert with transformation in one step\nINSERT INTO sales_data (order_id, customer_id, order_date, product_id, quantity, unit_price, total_amount)\nSELECT \n    order_id,\n    customer_id,\n    order_date,\n    product_id,\n    quantity,\n    unit_price,\n    quantity * unit_price AS total_amount\nFROM staging.raw_sales;\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Method 3: Python Script (For Complex Logic)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>import psycopg2\nimport pandas as pd\n\n# Connect to PostgreSQL\nconn = psycopg2.connect(\n    host=\"localhost\",\n    database=\"analytics_db\",\n    user=\"your_user\",\n    password=\"your_password\"\n)\n\n# Read CSV file\ndf =
