ETL Transformation to Third Normal Form for Philadelphia Building Demolition Permits

Figure 5

This ETL transformation was performed as an exercise in demonstrating proficiency using SQL in the PostgreSQL relational database with the PostGIS spatial extensions. I selected a spatial dataset of building demolition permits to load into the database and normalize to Third Normal Form. Once in place, this data can be combined with a secondary dataset on children with elevated blood lead levels to investigate correlations between demolition activity and elevated lead levels.
