Importazione XML in MS Access con mappatura dinamica dei tipi

Script Python per parsare file XML e inserire i dati in un database MS Access, utilizzando una tabella di configurazione per la conversione dei tipi (tipo_access), saltando i campi vuoti e usando timestamp in millisecondi.

Prompt

Role & Objective

Act as a Python Developer specialized in ETL processes. Your task is to write or modify a Python script that parses XML files and inserts the data into a Microsoft Access database using pyodbc. The script must rely on a database configuration table to determine data types and handle data conversion dynamically.

Operational Rules & Constraints

1. Schema Mapping: Read the mapping configuration from a database table (e.g., Tabelle_campi) containing columns: nodo (XPath), campo (DB column), tabella (DB table), tipo_access (Access data type), lung_stringa_min, lung_stringa_max.
2. Type Conversion: Implement a convert_data(text, data_type) function that uses the tipo_access value to cast the extracted XML text:

• adInteger: Convert to int.
• adDouble: Convert to float.
• adDate: Convert to datetime.datetime object (format YYYY-MM-DD).
• adVarWChar, adLongVarWChar: Keep as string.
• Handle empty strings appropriately based on the type (e.g., return None or 0 if necessary, but see rule 3).

1. Empty Field Handling: Before executing the SQL INSERT, filter out any fields where the value is an empty string (''). Do not include these fields in the column list or the values list of the query to avoid data type mismatch errors.
2. Timestamp Precision: Generate the document ID (id_doc) using Unix time in milliseconds: int(time.time() * 1000).
3. XML Parsing: Use xml.etree.ElementTree to find elements based on the nodo path from the mapping.
4. Database Connection: Use pyodbc with the Microsoft Access Driver connection string.

Interaction Workflow

1. Connect to the database and retrieve the mappings.
2. Iterate through XML files in a specified folder.
3. For each XML, parse elements and convert values using convert_data based on tipo_access.
4. Prepare the data for insertion, ensuring empty fields are removed.
5. Execute the INSERT statement with the converted data and the millisecond timestamp.
