+-- DEALERS CSV IMPORT - WORKING SOLUTION
+-- ============================================================
+-- This script provides a working solution for importing dealers
+-- from CSV with auto-generated columns (dealer_id, created_at, updated_at, is_active)
+-- ============================================================
+
+-- METHOD 1: If your CSV does NOT have dealer_id, created_at, updated_at, is_active
+-- ============================================================
+-- Use this COPY command if your CSV has exactly 44 columns (without the auto-generated ones)
+
+\copy public.dealers(

+# Dealers CSV Import Guide
+
+This guide explains how to format and import dealer data from a CSV file into the PostgreSQL `dealers` table.
+
+## ⚠️ Important: Auto-Generated Columns
+
+**DO NOT include these columns in your CSV file** - they are automatically generated by the database:
+
+- ❌ `dealer_id` - Auto-generated UUID (e.g., `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`)
+- ❌ `created_at` - Auto-generated timestamp (current time on import)
+- ❌ `updated_at` - Auto-generated timestamp (current time on import)
+- ❌ `is_active` - Defaults to `true`
+
+Your CSV should have **exactly 44 columns** (the data columns listed below).
+

+
+---
+
+## Preparing Your CSV File
+
+### Step 1: Create/Edit Your CSV File
+
+1. **Open your CSV file** in Excel, Google Sheets, or a text editor
+2. **Remove auto-generated columns** (if present):
+   - ❌ **DO NOT include**: `dealer_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `is_active`
+   - ✅ These will be automatically generated by the database
+3. **Ensure the header row** matches the column names exactly (see [Column Mapping](#column-mapping))
+4. **Verify column order** - columns must be in the exact order listed above (44 columns total)
+5. **Check data formats**:
+   - Dates: Use `YYYY-MM-DD` format (e.g., `2014-09-30`)
+   - Numbers: Use decimal format for `on_boarding_charges` (e.g., `1000.50`)
+   - Empty values: Leave cells empty (don't use "NULL" or "N/A" as text)
+
+### Step 2: Handle Special Characters
+
+- **Commas in text**: Wrap the entire field in double quotes
+  - Example: `"No.335, HVP RR Nagar Sector B"`
+- **Quotes in text**: Use double quotes to escape: `""quoted text""`
+- **Newlines in text**: Wrap field in double quotes
+
+### Step 3: Date Formatting
+
+Ensure dates are in `YYYY-MM-DD` format:
+- ✅ Correct: `2014-09-30`
+- ❌ Wrong: `30-Sep-14`, `09/30/2014`, `30-09-2014`
+
+### Step 4: Save the File
+
+1. **Save as CSV** (UTF-8 encoding)
+2. **File location**: Save to an accessible path (e.g., `C:/Users/COMP/Downloads/DEALERS_CLEAN.csv`)
+3. **File name**: Use a descriptive name (e.g., `DEALERS_CLEAN.csv`)
+
+### Sample CSV Format
+
+**Important:** Your CSV should **NOT** include `dealer_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, or `is_active` columns. These are auto-generated.
+
+```csv
+sales_code,service_code,gear_code,gma_code,region,dealership,state,district,city,location,city_category_pst,layout_format,tier_city_category,on_boarding_charges,date,single_format_month_year,domain_id,replacement,termination_resignation_status,date_of_termination_resignation,last_date_of_operations,old_codes,branch_details,dealer_principal_name,dealer_principal_email_id,dp_contact_number,dp_contacts,showroom_address,showroom_pincode,workshop_address,workshop_pincode,location_district,state_workshop,no_of_studios,website_update,gst,pan,firm_type,prop_managing_partners_directors,total_prop_partners_directors,docs_folder_link,workshop_gma_codes,existing_new,dlrcode

+
+**What gets auto-generated:**
+- `dealer_id`: `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000` (example UUID)
+- `created_at`: `2025-01-20 10:30:45.123` (current timestamp)
+- `updated_at`: `2025-01-20 10:30:45.123` (current timestamp)
+- `is_active`: `true`
+
+---
+
+## Import Methods
+
+### Method 1: PostgreSQL COPY Command (Recommended - If CSV has 44 columns)
+
+**Use this if your CSV does NOT include `dealer_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `is_active` columns.**
+
+**Prerequisites:**
+- PostgreSQL client (psql) installed
+- Access to PostgreSQL server
+- CSV file path accessible from PostgreSQL server
+
+**Steps:**
+
+1. **Connect to PostgreSQL:**
+   ```bash
+   psql -U your_username -d royal_enfield_workflow -h localhost
+   ```
+
+2. **Run the COPY command:**
+   
+   **Note:** The COPY command explicitly lists only the columns from your CSV. The following columns are **automatically handled by the database** and should **NOT** be in your CSV:
+   - `dealer_id` - Auto-generated UUID
+   - `created_at` - Auto-generated timestamp
+   - `updated_at` - Auto-generated timestamp  
+   - `is_active` - Defaults to `true`
+   
+   ```sql
+   \copy public.dealers(
+    sales_code,
+    service_code,
+    gear_code,
+    gma_code,
+    region,
+    dealership,
+    state,
+    district,
+    city,
+    location,
+    city_category_pst,
+    layout_format,
+    tier_city_category,
+    on_boarding_charges,
+    date,
+    single_format_month_year,
+    domain_id,
+    replacement,
+    termination_resignation_status,
+    date_of_termination_resignation,
+    last_date_of_operations,
+    old_codes,
+    branch_details,
+    dealer_principal_name,
+    dealer_principal_email_id,
+    dp_contact_number,
+    dp_contacts,
+    showroom_address,
+    showroom_pincode,
+    workshop_address,
+    workshop_pincode,
+    location_district,
+    state_workshop,
+    no_of_studios,
+    website_update,
+    gst,
+    pan,
+    firm_type,
+    prop_managing_partners_directors,
+    total_prop_partners_directors,
+    docs_folder_link,
+    workshop_gma_codes,
+    existing_new,
+    dlrcode
+   )
+   FROM 'C:/Users/COMP/Downloads/DEALERS_CLEAN.csv'
+   WITH (
+    FORMAT csv,
+    HEADER true,
+    ENCODING 'UTF8'
+   );
+   ```
+   
+   **What happens:**
+   - `dealer_id` will be automatically generated as a UUID for each row
+   - `created_at` will be set to the current timestamp
+   - `updated_at` will be set to the current timestamp
+   - `is_active` will default to `true`
+
+3. **Verify import:**
+   ```sql
+   SELECT COUNT(*) FROM dealers;
+   SELECT * FROM dealers LIMIT 5;
+   ```
+
+### Method 2: Using Temporary Table (If CSV has 48 columns including auto-generated ones)
+
+**Use this if your CSV includes `dealer_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, `is_active` columns and you're getting errors.**
+
+This method uses a temporary table to import the CSV, then inserts into the actual table while ignoring the auto-generated columns:
+
+```sql
+-- Step 1: Create temporary table
+CREATE TEMP TABLE dealers_temp (
+ dealer_id TEXT,
+ sales_code TEXT,
+ service_code TEXT,
+ -- ... (all 48 columns as TEXT)
+);
+
+-- Step 2: Import CSV into temp table
+\copy dealers_temp FROM 'C:/Users/COMP/Downloads/DEALERS_CLEAN.csv' WITH (FORMAT csv, HEADER true, ENCODING 'UTF8');
+
+-- Step 3: Insert into actual table (ignoring dealer_id, created_at, updated_at, is_active)
+INSERT INTO public.dealers (
+ sales_code,
+ service_code,
+ -- ... (only the 44 data columns)
+)
+SELECT 
+ NULLIF(sales_code, ''),
+ NULLIF(service_code, ''),
+ -- ... (convert and handle empty strings)
+FROM dealers_temp
+WHERE sales_code IS NOT NULL OR dealership IS NOT NULL; -- Skip completely empty rows
+
+-- Step 4: Clean up
+DROP TABLE dealers_temp;
+```
+
+**See `DEALERS_CSV_IMPORT_FIX.sql` for the complete working script.**
+
+### Method 3: Using pgAdmin
+
+1. Open pgAdmin and connect to your database
+2. Right-click on `dealers` table → **Import/Export Data**
+3. Select **Import**
+4. Configure:
+   - **Filename**: Browse to your CSV file
+   - **Format**: CSV
+   - **Header**: Yes
+   - **Encoding**: UTF8
+   - **Delimiter**: Comma
+5. Click **OK** to import
+
+### Method 4: Using Node.js Script
+
+Create a script to import CSV programmatically (useful for automation):
+
+```typescript
+import { sequelize } from '../config/database';
+import { QueryTypes } from 'sequelize';
+import * as fs from 'fs';
+import * as path from 'path';
+import * as csv from 'csv-parser';
+
+async function importDealersFromCSV(csvFilePath: string) {
+  const dealers: any[] = [];
+  
+  return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
+    fs.createReadStream(csvFilePath)
+      .pipe(csv())
+      .on('data', (row) => {
+        dealers.push(row);
+      })
+      .on('end', async () => {
+        try {
+          // Bulk insert dealers
+          // Implementation depends on your needs
+          console.log(`Imported ${dealers.length} dealers`);
+          resolve(dealers);
+        } catch (error) {
+          reject(error);

+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues and Solutions
+
+#### 1. **"Column count mismatch" Error**
+- **Problem**: CSV has different number of columns than expected
+- **Solution**: 
+  - Verify your CSV has exactly **44 columns** (excluding header)
+  - **Remove** `dealer_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, and `is_active` if they exist in your CSV
+  - These columns are auto-generated and should NOT be in the CSV file
+
+#### 2. **"Invalid date format" Error**
+- **Problem**: Dates not in `YYYY-MM-DD` format
+- **Solution**: Convert dates to `YYYY-MM-DD` format (e.g., `2014-09-30`)
+
+#### 3. **"Encoding error" or "Special characters not displaying correctly**
+- **Problem**: CSV file not saved in UTF-8 encoding
+- **Solution**: 
+  - In Excel: Save As → CSV UTF-8 (Comma delimited) (*.csv)
+  - In Notepad++: Encoding → Convert to UTF-8 → Save
+
+#### 4. **"Permission denied" Error (COPY command)**
+- **Problem**: PostgreSQL server cannot access the file path
+- **Solution**: 
+  - Use absolute path with forward slashes: `C:/Users/COMP/Downloads/DEALERS_CLEAN.csv`
+  - Ensure file permissions allow read access
+  - For remote servers, upload file to server first
+
+#### 5. **"Duplicate key" Error**
+- **Problem**: Trying to import duplicate records
+- **Solution**: 
+  - Use `ON CONFLICT` handling in your import
+  - Or clean CSV to remove duplicates before import
+
+#### 6. **Empty values showing as "NULL" text**
+- **Problem**: CSV contains literal "NULL" or "N/A" strings
+- **Solution**: Replace with empty cells in CSV
+
+#### 7. **Commas in address fields breaking import**
+- **Problem**: Address fields contain commas not properly quoted
+- **Solution**: Wrap fields containing commas in double quotes:
+  ```csv
+  "No.335, HVP RR Nagar Sector B, Ideal Homes Town Ship"
+  ```
+
+### Pre-Import Checklist
+
+- [ ] CSV file saved in UTF-8 encoding
+- [ ] **Removed** `dealer_id`, `created_at`, `updated_at`, and `is_active` columns (if present)
+- [ ] Header row matches column names exactly
+- [ ] All 44 columns present in correct order
+- [ ] Dates formatted as `YYYY-MM-DD`
+- [ ] Numeric fields contain valid numbers (or are empty)
+- [ ] Text fields with commas are wrapped in quotes
+- [ ] File path is accessible from PostgreSQL server
+- [ ] Database connection credentials are correct
+
+### Verification Queries
+
+After import, run these queries to verify:
+
+```sql
+-- Count total dealers
+SELECT COUNT(*) as total_dealers FROM dealers;
+
+-- Verify auto-generated columns
+SELECT 
+  dealer_id,
+  created_at,
+  updated_at,
+  is_active,
+  dlrcode,
+  dealership
+FROM dealers
+LIMIT 5;
+
+-- Check for null values in key fields
+SELECT 
+  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE dlrcode IS NULL) as null_dlrcode,
+  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE domain_id IS NULL) as null_domain_id,
+  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE dealership IS NULL) as null_dealership
+FROM dealers;
+
+-- View sample records
+SELECT 
+  dealer_id,
+  dlrcode,
+  dealership,
+  city,
+  state,
+  domain_id,
+  created_at,
+  is_active
+FROM dealers
+LIMIT 10;
+
+-- Check date formats
+SELECT 
+  dlrcode,
+  date,
+  date_of_termination_resignation,
+  last_date_of_operations
+FROM dealers
+WHERE date IS NOT NULL
+LIMIT 5;
+
+-- Verify all dealers have dealer_id and timestamps
+SELECT 
+  COUNT(*) as total,
+  COUNT(dealer_id) as has_dealer_id,
+  COUNT(created_at) as has_created_at,
+  COUNT(updated_at) as has_updated_at,
+  COUNT(*) FILTER (WHERE is_active = true) as active_count
+FROM dealers;
+```
+
+---
+
+## Additional Notes
+
+- **Backup**: Always backup your database before bulk imports
+- **Testing**: Test import with a small sample (5-10 rows) first
+- **Validation**: Validate data quality before import
+- **Updates**: Use `UPSERT` logic if you need to update existing records
+
+---
