Docx to xsl
To convert data from a DOCX file to an SQL database, follow these general steps:
- Extract Data from DOCX:
- Read the DOCX file and extract the relevant data.
-
Python's
python-docx
library is commonly used for this purpose. -
Process the Extracted Data:
-
Format the data according to your SQL database schema.
-
Insert Data into SQL Database:
- Use a database connector library like
sqlite3
,mysql-connector-python
, orpsycopg2
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:
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¶
- Reading DOCX:
read_docx
function reads paragraphs from the DOCX file and returns a list of text lines.- Inserting into SQL:
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 thedocuments
table.- Main Function:
- 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.
