Docx to xsl

To convert data from a DOCX file to an SQL database, follow these general steps:

  1. Extract Data from DOCX:
  2. Read the DOCX file and extract the relevant data.
  3. Python's python-docx library is commonly used for this purpose.

  4. Process the Extracted Data:

  5. Format the data according to your SQL database schema.

  6. Insert Data into SQL Database:

  7. Use a database connector library like sqlite3, mysql-connector-python, or psycopg2 to insert the data into your SQL database.

Below is an example script using Python to achieve this:

Requirements

Install the required libraries using pip:

pip install python-docx mysql-connector-python

Python Script

import docx
import mysql.connector

# Function to read data from DOCX
def read_docx(file_path):
    doc = docx.Document(file_path)
    data = []
    for para in doc.paragraphs:
        data.append(para.text)
    return data

# Function to insert data into SQL database
def insert_data_to_sql(data, db_config):
    try:
        # Connect to the database
        connection = mysql.connector.connect(**db_config)
        cursor = connection.cursor()

        # Create table if not exists (example schema)
        cursor.execute('''
            CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS documents (
                id INT AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
                content TEXT
            )
        ''')

        # Insert data into the table
        for line in data:
            cursor.execute('INSERT INTO documents (content) VALUES (%s)', (line,))

        # Commit the transaction
        connection.commit()

    except mysql.connector.Error as err:
        print(f"Error: {err}")

    finally:
        cursor.close()
        connection.close()

# Main function
def main(docx_file_path, db_config):
    data = read_docx(docx_file_path)
    insert_data_to_sql(data, db_config)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    DOCX_FILE_PATH = 'path/to/your/document.docx'
    DB_CONFIG = {
        'host': 'your_db_host',
        'user': 'your_db_user',
        'password': 'your_db_password',
        'database': 'your_db_name'
    }
    main(DOCX_FILE_PATH, DB_CONFIG)

Explanation

  1. Reading DOCX:
  2. read_docx function reads paragraphs from the DOCX file and returns a list of text lines.
  3. Inserting into SQL:
  4. insert_data_to_sql function connects to the MySQL database, creates a table if it does not exist, and inserts each line of text into the documents table.
  5. Main Function:
  6. The main function orchestrates reading the DOCX file and inserting the data into the SQL database.

Adjustments

  • Modify the read_docx function if your DOCX file has a different structure (tables, headings, etc.).
  • Adjust the SQL table schema and insert queries according to your needs.

Feel free to customize this script according to your specific DOCX structure and SQL database requirements.
