Once the code is written using Web-D-Zine (WDZ) then data needs to be imported so that you can use the code to create the web application that you want. With the new data model that is the foundation of WDZ then importing data is really simple because, initially the query is constructed, then the data is supplied.
So with WDZ a set of functions are supplied so that you can import data safely and quickly. These import routines also allow you to vet the data supplied by supplying the following routines:-
- Pre-validation routines - For things like emails, telephone numbers etc..
- Cleaning routines - These are used for when only certain characters are valid
- Conversion routines - These are used when certain characters need to be converted into a different character
- Certain values - This is when only certain values are required. For example, say the country is GB, UK, Great Britain, G. Britain etc., these can all be set to just one value if required
- Code generator - For when a new code is required to identify the record
The code provided by WDZ for bulk importing firstly validates the data and flags any inconsistencies for manual correction, then once all the data is verified, it can be imported into your new system.
