Create SQL transformations on CustomerInformation

We'll be doing a series of SQL transformations. Do not apply the SQL transformations until the very end.

  1. Click on the link Construct SQL rollup and/or transformation:

2. We'll convert the times, event_time and modified_at to a timestamp object:

Similar to what we did before, we’re going to convert event_time to a timestamp object and remap it to _event_time(do not type this in the SQL transformation editor):

EXAMPLE:

PARSE_TIMESTAMP_ISO8601(event_time)as _event_time

PARSE_TIMESTAMP_ISO8601(modified_at) as modified_at

Action Item: Delete all the code SQL transformation editor and apply the code snippet below. You'll notice we've applied Lines 1-5:

PREVIEW BOX: You’ll see that _event_time and modified_at fields are a timestamp object:

3. Cast id to _id:

Action Item: Delete all the code SQL transformation editor and apply the code snippet below. You'll notice we've applied Line 4:

PREVIEW BOX: You’ll see that the _id field is added:

4. Add the rest of the fields to the SQL transformation:

Action Item: Delete all the code SQL transformation editor and apply the code snippet below. You'll notice we've applied Lines 5-9:

PREVIEW BOX: You’ll see that the rest of the fields are added:

5. Go ahead and Apply the SQL transformations at the bottom of the SQL transformation page.
