    A new data analyst reviews the imported data and identifies discrepancies between the original CSV file and the SQL database, highlighting missing data and the impact of import issues.

  • Data Transfer to New Location

    Data is transferred to a new location using a flash drive. The data is imported into a new SQL database system for better management and analysis capabilities.
