description	Generate ETL and data transformation scripts. Use when migrating data between systems.

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.
