For the current task I plan to do it only once, but I imagine that I'll have to perform similar tasks in the future. Thanks for the insight though, its definitely a viable option.HappilyCoding– HappilyCoding2023-12-22 17:32:53 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2023 at 17:32

"properly model the data" without even a hint what that means leaves a door open big enough to drive a Bagger 288 through.whatsisname– whatsisname2023-12-22 21:49:11 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2023 at 21:49

1load it all into sql and then work on it. The reason being, you will want to report on the errored lines. having the raw data in a "rawData" table makes it easy to say "couldn't parse row 123" and work out what the issue is, rather than errored on line 12312412, col x start again!Ewan– Ewan2023-12-22 22:01:36 +00:00Commented Dec 22, 2023 at 22:01

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. design-patterns), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
