Sequence 139 — T10 - CSV representation and encoding pitfalls

Context: Technology Gate B - Programmatic Data Management | Technology Gate
Source: CDMP Master Execution Manual

When / purpose

Understand why flat-file representation can create integration/quality problems.

What you should learn

  • Delimiter/quoting.
  • Headers.
  • Encoding awareness.
  • Blank vs null vs zero.

Resources / limits

Technology Competency Roadmap: active T6–T10 only. Detailed Technology Competency Reference: topic detail/readiness only.

Do this in order

  1. Inspect one Meridian CSV in a text editor and pandas.
  2. Create a harmless working-copy delimiter or quoting defect.
  3. Diagnose it without changing the canonical source.

Meridian application

Use Meridian synthetic files and database only for bounded practice.

Create / save

CSV defect note.

Stop / boundary

Stop before production data engineering, application development, advanced OOP, orchestration or distributed processing.

Completion gate

You can explain how representation affects parsing and quality.
