💻 Migrate a database from SQL Server to PostgreSQL with Python + SQL, then visualize data with matplotlib.
This project covers:
ETL pipeline design (Extract, Transform, Load)
Pre-migration data quality checks
Cross-database type conversions (BIT→BOOLEAN, DATETIME→TIMESTAMP)
Bulk data loading with psycopg2
Post-migration validation (row counts, referential integrity)
Data visualization with matplotlib
…and more!
Check out the full GitHub repository here: https://github.com/sdw-online/sql-ser...
This GitHub repo contains:
Complete Jupyter notebook with all migration code
SQL scripts for both SQL Server and PostgreSQL
Data generation scripts (1M+ rows)
Pre/post-migration validation queries
Visual architecture diagrams
