Loading Sample Starter Project

In Visitran, most sample projects have two versions:

1. A starter version:

This version has only the raw starting data or seed data loaded into raw source tables. No other transformations have been applied. This allows you follow along with the quick start guide and see how Visitran transforms data, while not having to deal with the complexity of setting up a database or loading data.

2. A completed or finalized version:

This version is the completed or finalized version of the sample project. It not only has the sample seed data loaded into raw source tables, but also has all the transformations applied. You'll be able to explore around to understand how you can use Visitran to transform your data.

Loading the Sample Starter Project

To load the sample starter project, click on Dashboard > Load Sample Project > Jaffle Shop > Starter.

Verifying the loaded Seed Data

Visitran creates this project by automatically creating a new demo database and loading the seed data into it. You should be able to see the seed data used in the left panel of the Visitran UI. You can also explore the seed data by clicking on the seed data CSV files there.

Since the seed data is loaded into raw source tables, you can also explore the schema of the raw source tables by switching to the Database tab on the left panel of the Visitran UI.

Excellent! Now that we have the seed data loaded into raw source tables, we're ready to start transforming it.
