[[VCDB23]] is the 2023 iteration of my venture capital database. The last previous build was [[VCBD20]], and this follows the same basic design.
== Processing Steps ==
# Copy over the rpt, ssh, and pl files, and bulk edit the ssh files, now in E:\projects\vcdb23\SDC.
## Change 12/31/2020 (and one 07/20/2020) to 12/31/2022 and vcdb20 to vcdb23
# Run the ssh files against SDC Platinum. Note that SDC Platinum's service will be withdrawn on 31 December 2023.
# Run the [[SDC Normalizer]] script (one of the pl files) on each output
## There are special steps for USFirms1980, USFund1980, USFundExecs1980, USPortCo1980, and RoundOnOneLine (which needs multistep processing)
## PortCo_Long_Description requires bespoke processing
# Create a new database on mother (createdb vcdb23) and setup a directory for the input files: E:\projects\vcdb23
# Copy over and edit Load.sql. Run it section-by-section.
