1. Case Study ESTP Workshop on SDMX in National Accounts
Luxembourg, March 2016

2. Objectives 1. Provide table 800, 801 SDMX-ML files to Eurostat
2. Provide a URL for pulling table 800 and 801 data through SDMX web services
Business process:
You manage data for table 800 yourself in your own database. In the past a special database function filled Eurostat Excel templates
You get data for table 801 from a ministry in regular intervals in CSV format. In the past you used Excel macros to load the data into Eurostat Excel templates.

3. Objective 1 – What to do?
Use an existing database for table T0800 (NA8)
Import SDMX structures needed for table 8
Map the table using the Mapping Assistant
Create static SDMX – ML data files using the Test Client and/or Web Client
Provide a Web Service were Eurostat can retrieve data

6. Objective 2 – What to do?
Create a new database using Loader for the dataflow T0801
Pay attention to the primary key (see next slide)
Map and Load CSV datafile «provided by the ministry»
Easy: use CSV sample file provided
Advanced: create your own using the Converter
Create static SDMX – ML data files using the Test Client and/or Web Client
Provide a Web Service where Eurostat can retrieve data

7. Table creation Keep all the fields included by default
Eliminate from primary key the following fields and assign to them the related default value:
CURRENCY_DENOM = _Z
MATURITY = _Z
COUNTERPART_SECTOR = S1
FREQ = Q
REF_AREA= LU
Add for the field TABLE_IDENTIFIER the default value T0801
