Code Examples

Polars

Casting is enums, categoricals etc is not essential, but may speed up parsing. Swapping int for pl.UInt16, pl.Int32 would also speed up parsing. However some of the datatypes are inferred, so they may be wrong.

This code deduplicates for you. Deduplication is normally only required across multiple months.

This code assumes that all columns are present, which may not be true for older files.

Availability

Visibility: Private

This table is not available in the public monthly MMSDM archive. Is is only available to registered market participants over FTP inside a VPN.

Deduplication and PDR Loader Configuration

The primary keys are:

CONTRACTID
EFFECTIVEDATE
PERIODID
VERSIONNO

PDR Loader configuration does not mention this table, so it is unclear how to choose which row to keep when there are multiple rows for a given set of primary keys.

You should probably take the row with the maximum LASTCHANGED.
