Data validate tools (ETL tools) for SQL server
- by Stan
I have some data in Excel and need to import into database. Is there any tool that can validate and maybe clean the data? Does Red Gate have such tool?
The input will be Excel. Given table constraints, eg. CHECK, UNIQUE KEY, datetime format, NOT NULL. Desire output should be as least shows which lines are having problems, and then fix some trivial error automatically, like fill in default value for NULL columns, automatically correct datetime format.
I know using Python can build such a script. But just wonder what's the popular way to do this. Thanks.
