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

How It Works

Takes your description of source and destination formats, then generates a Node.js script that handles reading, transforming, and writing data. The AI includes proper error handling and progress logging.
