πŸ“‚ Project: Dev
⭐ Priority: MEDIUM

Session Goal: The session aimed to implement effective data merging strategies using Python’s pandas library and transition data processing from CSV files to a database-driven approach.

Key Activities:

  • Developed structured workflows for merging multiple datasets in Python using pandas, providing specific code snippets for implementation.
  • Adapted existing data loading procedures to accommodate new CSV file paths and merge multiple DataFrames.
  • Transitioned data processing scripts from reading CSV files to querying a relational database, including establishing a database connection and understanding the database structure.
  • Generated a tree view of Google Drive using the Google Drive API, demonstrating the integration of external APIs with Python scripting.

Achievements:

  • Successfully outlined and implemented data merging strategies, enhancing data manipulation capabilities.
  • Transitioned data processing workflows from CSV to database, improving data management efficiency.
  • Developed a Python script for generating a tree view of Google Drive, showcasing API usage.

Pending Tasks:

  • Further refine the database querying process to optimize data retrieval and processing.
  • Continue testing and validation of the new data processing workflows to ensure accuracy and performance.
