ETL Step 2 - Tidy data

This notebook tidies the raw raw_data_table from the Content DB database. The tidy data is written back to the Content DB database to the bike_model_data table.

Get data from database

Connect to Content DB to get the bike_raw_data and bike_station_info table.

con <- odbc::dbConnect(odbc::odbc(), "Content DB", timeout = 10)

bike_raw_data <- tbl(con, "bike_raw_data")

Tidy the data

Apply the data tidying steps. All of the tidying steps are performed in SQL. The results are written back to Content DB to the bike_model_data table.

if (odbc::dbExistsTable(con, "bike_model_data")) {
  odbc::dbRemoveTable(con, "bike_model_data")
}

# Build a SQL query to tidy the data.
query <- bike_raw_data %>% 
    group_by(
        id = station_id, 
        hour = hour(time), 
        date = date(time), 
        month = month(time), 
        dow = TRIM(to_char(time, "Day"))
    ) %>%
    summarize(
        n_bikes = mean(num_bikes_available, na.rm = TRUE),
        .groups = "drop"
    ) %>%
    inner_join(
        select(bike_station_info, id = station_id, lat, lon)
    ) %>%
    dbplyr::sql_render() %>%
    stringr::str_replace("SELECT", "CREATE TABLE bike_model_data AS SELECT")

# Execute the SQL query.
odbc::dbSendQuery(con, query)
