Database Persistence and Feed #42

Closed shepherdjay closed 3 years ago

shepherdjay commented 3 years ago

While implementing sqlalchemy I noticed that the original code and my implementation code recreates the entire database from scratch.

Is this desired behavior? I'm assuming the intent is so that a regular restart of the process will result in new data but it also pulls from a local copy so the data is already out of date.

An additional question I had was around using the XML feed instead of the CSV feed? The XML file seems like it makes it difficult to reason about. (I hate working with XML)

I don't mean to disparage XML too much and ElementTree is a fantastic thing to work but it can be a bear sometimes.

Closing this issue, this is working as intended for the time being.
