How to Sync to Manually
Step 1: Export PayPal Transaction Data
Begin by logging into your PayPal account. Navigate to the "Activity" section and select "All Transactions". Use the available filters to specify the date range and type of transactions you want to export. Once your criteria are set, click on "Download" and choose a file format like CSV. Save the file to your local system.
Step 2: Prepare the Transaction Data
Open the exported CSV file using software like Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Inspect the data for any inconsistencies or errors. Ensure that all necessary fields such as transaction ID, amount, date, and payer information are present and correctly formatted. Remove any unwanted columns or data that are irrelevant for your analysis.
Step 3: Set Up a Secure Storage Environment
Before moving the data to Firebolt, create a secure storage location on your local system or server. This could be a dedicated directory where the CSV file will be temporarily stored before uploading to Firebolt. Ensure that the directory has appropriate access permissions to protect sensitive transaction data.
Step 4: Install Firebolt CLI Tools
Visit the Firebolt documentation to download and install the Firebolt Command Line Interface (CLI) tools on your local machine. These tools are necessary to interact with the Firebolt database directly from your system. Follow the instructions to configure the CLI with your Firebolt account credentials.
Step 5: Create a Table in Firebolt
Log into your Firebolt account and access your database. Use the SQL editor to create a table that matches the structure of your PayPal transaction data. For example, define the columns with appropriate data types (e.g., VARCHAR for transaction ID, DECIMAL for amount, DATE for transaction date). Execute the SQL statement to create the table.
Step 6: Upload Data to Firebolt
Use the Firebolt CLI to upload your CSV file data into the newly created table. Execute a command that uses the `COPY INTO` SQL statement from your local directory to the Firebolt database. Ensure the CSV file path is correct and that the column mappings align with the table structure. Adjust any options in the command to handle CSV-specific characteristics, such as delimiters.
Step 7: Verify Data Integrity
After the data upload process is complete, run a series of SQL queries in Firebolt to verify that the data has been imported correctly. Check for any discrepancies in the transaction counts, totals, or specific records. If any issues are found, re-inspect the CSV file and upload process, making necessary corrections and re-uploading if needed.
