Project Info

This is the Contoso Mailer project that is currently using Dapper and I want to roll it over to Entity Framework.

Considerations

I want to move very slowly, with one change being a single git commit, one iteration being a single push to GitHub dev branch.

Guidelines

NEVER edit package.json directly ALWAYS use npm install

Something Amazing

Bottom line: never trust a spreadsheet. You're going to hear me say that a lot in this production! Especially when it comes to dates.

Postgres is pretty good at dealing with dates... in fact it's amazingly powerful as well as correct:

select now(); -- what date and time is it where my server is located?
select now() + '1 day' as tomorrow; -- adding an interval is extremely easy
select now() at time zone 'America/New_York'; -- specifying a timezone

Postgres ships with a powerful binary client, psql. If you're not a command line person, it can take a little getting used to. It's worth the investment, however, because the speed and scriptability of psql is extremely powerful.

You can login to your database with a simple command:

psql cassini

Once you're in, you can have a look around and see what's there:

When importing data into Postgres from a CSV, it's imperative that you do not try to alter the data - do that by explicitly transforming the data later on.

That means we need to import everything as text, because that's the core string type in Postgres (as opposed to varchar etc).

To create our schema and table:

create schema csvs;
create table csvs.master_plan(
 start_time_utc text,
