JSON modeling was covered in a previous blog post which was, in turn, based on a CSV import blog post that came before that. While writing the post on JSON modeling, it occurred to me that it might be useful to see all the data in motion: from relational, to CSV, to a staging bucket, and finally assembled with the new model.

A tool that I neglected to mention in any of these earlier posts is csvkit and specifically csvsql. This tool can pull CSV data from SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Sybase, and Firebird directly into CSV.

Thanks for watching!
