Venture Capital (Data) Retrieving US VC Data From SDC VC Database Rebuild

Goal

I will be looking to redesign the VC Database in a way that is more intuitively built than the previous one. I will also update the database with current data.

Initial Stages

The first step of the project was to figure out what primary keys to use for each major table that I create. I looked at the primary keys used in the creation of the VC Database Rebuild and found primary keys that are decent. I have updated them and list them below:

1. CompanyBaseCore- coname, statecode, datefirstinv
2. IPOCore- issuer, issuedate, statecode
3. MACore- target name, target state code, announceddate
4. Geo - city, statecode, coname, datefirst, year
5. DeadDate - conname, statecode, datefirst, rounddate (tentative could still change)
6. RoundCore- conname, statecode, datefirst, rounddate
7. FirmBaseCore - firmname
8. FundBaseCore - fund name, firstinvdate

These are my initial listings and I will come back to update them if needed.

The second part of the initial stage has been to pull data from the SDC Platinum platform with updated dates to make the pull as recent as possible.

Pulling from SDC

Finding what to enter into the SDC in order to run the reports that were already created is not always intuitive. As such I have included the process for each table here.
