dvcrn Data Transform Generator
Moving data between databases or formats requires writing tedious transformation scripts. Describe your source and destination and get a complete ETL script.
One command. Zero config. Just works.
Quick Start
npx ai-data-transform "CSV to PostgreSQL"
What It Does
- Generates complete data transformation scripts
- Handles schema mapping between different formats
- Supports databases, files, and APIs
- Includes error handling and validation
Usage Examples
# File to database
npx ai-data-transform "CSV to PostgreSQL"
# API to database
npx ai-data-transform "JSON API to SQLite"
# Database to database
npx ai-data-transform "MongoDB to Elasticsearch"
# With transformations
npx ai-data-transform "Excel to MySQL, convert dates and normalize names"
Best Practices
- Validate before loading - catch bad data early
- Batch large datasets - don't load 1M rows at once
- Log progress - know where you are if it fails
- Test on sample data - verify transforms work before full run
When to Use This
- Migrating to a new database
- Loading data from external sources
- Building ETL pipelines
- One-time data imports
