Retrieving Incubators from Crunchbase Database
We are pulling out relevant fields from crunchbase database using incubator uuids chosen by Yi and Libby following the process:
1) Create a file of uuids of incubators
- CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByYi.txt (275)
- CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByLibby.txt (301)
File path: Z:\crunchbase3
2) Load the file into the database
DROP TABLE ChosenShortOrgUUIDs; CREATE TABLE ChosenShortOrgUUIDs ( uuid varchar(100) ); \COPY ChosenShortOrgUUIDs FROM 'CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByYi.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS CSV --275
DROP TABLE ChosenLongOrgUUIDs; CREATE TABLE ChosenLongOrgUUIDs ( uuid varchar(100) ); \COPY ChosenShortOrgUUIDs FROM 'CrunchbaseShortOrgDescChosenByLibby.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS CSV --301
3) Run a query that joins uuids with related fields
Fields we are interested in:
company_name, domain, homepage_url, country_code, state_code, region, city, address, status, short_description, category_list, category_group_list, funding_rounds, funding_total_usd, founded_on, employee_count, A.uuid, primary_role, type
Useful Regular Exes
1. Replace “\s+$” with [leave blank] to remove all the empty lines
2. Replace "s+$" with [leave blank] to removes all the whitespaces
3. <.*> finds everything that starts with < and ends with >
4. Replace href=" with "\n" to start a new line for each url
5. Replace "\s\s+" with [leave blank] to remove more than one white spaces
6. Replace "(?-s)^(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R(.+)\R" with "\1\2\3\4\5\6\r\n" to merge every six lines
7. Replace "[ ]{2,}" with [leave blank] removes more than one spaces between two words
8. Crtl+Q, B turns on the block select mode
9. Replace " .*" with [leave black] to remove noncharacters
Useful PostgreSQL Script
Loading/Unloading Data
Always load/unload data using the PostgreSQL specific copy function below. Always load tab-delimited data that is UTF-8 encoded, with PC or UNIX line endings, and that has a header row. NEVER DEVIATE FROM THIS.
Load using: \COPY tablename FROM 'filename.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS CSV
Unload (copy to txt file) using: \COPY tablename TO 'filename.txt' WITH DELIMITER AS E'\t' HEADER NULL AS CSV
Creating Tables
DROP TABLE tablename; CREATE TABLE tablename ( field1 varchar(100), field2 int, field3 date, field4 real );
