Обсуждение: ingesting a large xml file and formatting it
Hi, I have a large XML file that I would like to put into a postgresql database. There are certain attributes about elements that aren't needed, so I would like to "pre-process" it, removing parts that aren't desired before storing the new row.
What are some first steps in making this happen?
Also, is there a term for "pre-processing data so that data being inserted into the database is consistent?"

This a fairly vague question...can you be more specific about how you want the process to look and what languages you are familiar with? > Also, is there a term for "pre-processing data so that data being inserted > into the database is consistent?" Normalize, Standardize, or Transform; the last being the most semantically correct given that you are talking about XML.
