Form Recognizer output is a JSON output, you can use Logic App or Power Automate database connectors to take the JSON output into a database.

Store .sav file into RDBMS including meta data

I want to know what is the best approach to store the data from .sav file into RDBMS database with out loosing any meta data model as well as actual response data.
Note first that you can save all the metadata in a sav file where you have deleted all the data and then reapply the metadata to a new, similar sav file using APPLY DICTIONARY.
Otherwise, you would need to create tables in the database for the various attributes. That's easy for variable labels, formats, measurement level, and missing value codes. For value labels it would take a bit more work.
One possible approach would be to use OMS to capture the output from CODEBOOK (without any statistics) as data files and then export those files to the database.

Insert a PDF file into Core Data?

I'm using my app to import some PDF files.
But I'm trying to insert my PDF file int my database. I'm using Core Data. Is it possible to do this ? If it is, how can I do it ? Which kind of types I have to use (NSData, NSDocument, ... ?)
Thanks you so much! :)
To store a PDF (or really any big data blob):
Use the Core Data "binary" type for the attribute, which corresponds to NSData.
In your Core Data model, turn on "Allows External Storage" for the attribute so that Core Data can store the data outside of the persistent store.
It's often better to just write the PDF to a file, and store the filename in your persistent store instead of the whole file.
Usually for large files, i.e large images or pdf files, what you should save in core data is simply a reference to the file, and store the pdf in NSCachesDirectory or in a permanent directory, depending on your needs.
Hope that helps.

Is saving data in SQLite as BLOB, a good programming practice?

Currently I am working with the project in which I need to parse complex XML, which contains multilevel details (Name & Paths for PDFs, PNGs, etc) at each node.
I need to store all the data in local memory of iPhone/iPad.
Should I create classes for each of those details and make appropriate tables in SQLite or store the data as BLOB and retrieve all the data all the time?
Any Suggestions, thoughts are most welcome...
EDIT:
I am storing Files in DocumentsDirectory and path to SQLite database. Question is to create well defined database tables or to store data in BLOB form.
Pros and Cons for both approach would be much appreciated. Thanks.
in my opinion you should simply use BLOB : when you startup your app load you'r xml into an object all changes will be made to that object so you can win the time to rewrite back to disk
on exit application save all to disk..
Using of BLOB is not a good process .Store all pdf and images in Document directory..store that path only in DB...

Loading a CSV into Core Data managed sqlite db

I have a CSV file containing data.
I want to load it into a Core Data managed sqlite db.
I just ran one of the sample Core Data Xcode apps and noticed it created the db file.
I noticed table names all started with Z and the primary keys were stored in separate table so from this am I right in presuming that just importing the CSV data directly into the db using sqlite3 command line might mess up primary keys.
Do I need to write a program to read in the CSV line by line and then create objects for each row and persist them to the db.
Anyone got any code for this?
And can I write a desktop client to do this using Core Data. If so will the db be fine to use in IPhone core data app?
Can I then just include the prefilled db in my project and it will be deployed with the app correctly or is there something else I should do.
Use NSScanner to read your CSV file into the NSManagedObject instances in your Core Data store.
I have some categories on NSString for reading and writing CSV files from/to NSArrays. I'll post them online and edit my answer with a link to it.
