Recording in the Categories Table Version 4.6.6.6


The current phase of the process is visually represented in the accompanying slide. At this juncture, we have compiled a comprehensive list of categories alongside their respective codes. To proceed, we will incorporate the Automatic Box functionality to facilitate data insertion into the designated destination table.



It is imperative to ensure that the data format outlined in the source metadata mirrors the schema of the destination table. Following the implementation of various transformations, including the removal of the Brand column from the original CSV file, extraction of distinct values, and application of the Lockup technique, a meticulous review of metadata congruence with the destination table is warranted.


Upon examination of the destination table, we identify two pivotal columns: Cod_Category and Desc_Category. Notably, Cod_Category serves as the primary key and is characterized by an n-varchar data type with a length of 50, while Desc_Category is delineated as an n-varchar with a length of 200. It becomes imperative to effectuate the requisite modifications to the column names within the metadata to align with these specifications.

To effectuate this alignment, we augment our transformation repertoire by introducing an additional transformation termed Alias Columns. Herein, we meticulously specify the column names in accordance with the destination table: Cod_Category and Desc_Category.







Following the metadata adjustments, we validate that the column nomenclature seamlessly corresponds to that of the destination table. Additionally, we meticulously ensure that the data types are accurately configured; Desc_Category is designated as a string with a length of 200, while Cod_Category, being the primary key, is also configured as a string with a length of 50.





With the metadata harmonization successfully accomplished, we proceed to enact the Automatic Box functionality. Leveraging the Productivity tool, we meticulously configure the source (text file) and destination (SQL Server) connections. Subsequently, we meticulously specify the destination table as dim_Category within the SQL Server TargetDB.

Following the meticulous configuration of the Automatic Box, we proceed to execute the process to effectuate the seamless transfer of data from the source to the destination table. Subsequent to the execution, we conscientiously validate the records within the SQL Server Management Studio to ascertain the successful recording of data within the Category table.



In summation, through the meticulous alignment of metadata and the judicious implementation of the Automatic Box, we have proficiently recorded the pertinent data within the Categories table, meticulously adhering to the specifications delineated by the destination table.
