About this role

PHP, Python, Data Entry, Software Architecture, MySQL, JSON, Scripting, Automation · I need a concise Python script that takes repetitive data-entry work off my hands. The information already sits inside a MySQL database; the problem is moving, reformatting, and inserting it into the correct tables each day without manual effort.

Here is what I am looking for:

• A clean, well-commented Python script (Python 3.x) that connects to my existing MySQL instance, fetches the source records, applies a few straightforward transformation rules I will supply, and inserts or updates the target tables. • Solid error handling: the script should log any failed rows and continue processing. • A simple configuration section (or a small JSON/YAML file) so I can adjust credentials, table names, and batch sizes without touching the core logic. • Basic usage instructions so I can run it from the command line or schedule it with cron/Task Scheduler.

If you have used libraries such as mysql-connector-python or SQLAlchemy and are comfortable writing lightweight automation for data entry tasks, this should be quick. Clean code matters more to me than flashy interfaces; reliability is the priority.
