How do I convert an SQL database table to NETCDF using this tool?

First, export your SQL query to CSV or upload a .sql dump. In the converter, map each column to a NETCDF variable and assign one or more columns as dimensions (e.g., time, latitude). Then set compression and chunking options if needed, and configure metadata like units and long_name. Click Convert and download the resulting .nc file.

Why should I convert SQL data to NETCDF?

SQL is built for relational data, not for storing large multidimensional arrays common in scientific computing. NETCDF is a self-describing binary format designed for geoscience and climate data, and is supported by tools like Panoply, QGIS, and xarray. Converting allows you to leverage compression and chunking for smaller files and faster access, and enables interoperability with NetCDF-aware analysis pipelines.

How does the SQL to NETCDF conversion handle data types and missing values?

The converter maps SQL numeric types (INTEGER, FLOAT, DOUBLE) to NETCDF's integer and real types, and VARCHAR to the string type. Your table column names become NETCDF variable names. NULL values are marked using the NETCDF _FillValue attribute, and any column designated as a dimension becomes a coordinate variable. User-defined comments and column metadata can be preserved as NETCDF global or variable attributes.
