Database management system for merging data into a database

A method, comprising:

• fetching, by utilizing instructions from a memory that are executed by a processor, a set of data from a data source external to a database;
• determining that the fetched set of data is unstructured data;
• following the determination that the fetched set of data is unstructured data, transforming the fetched set of data into structured data;
• determining one or more lowest denominators for the fetched set of data, the one or more lowest denominators comprising one or more of a spatial denominator and a temporal denominator;
• determining that the fetched set of data does not meet the one or more lowest denominators;
• following the determination that the fetched set of data does not meet the one or more lowest denominators, transforming the fetched set of data to meet the one or more lowest denominators;
• determining one or more joinable keys for the fetched set of data, the one or more joinable keys providing a connection to a set of data stored in the database;
• and
• merging the fetched set of data into the database with the set of data stored in the database.

A non-transitory computer-readable device comprising instructions, which when loaded and executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• fetching a set of data from a data source external to a database;
• determining that the fetched set of data is unstructured data;
• following the determination that the fetched set of data is unstructured data, transforming the fetched set of data into structured data;
• determining one or more lowest denominators for the fetched set of data, the one or more lowest denominators comprising one or more of a spatial denominator and a temporal denominator;
• determining that the fetched set of data does not meet the one or more lowest denominators;
• following the determination that the fetched set of data does not meet the one or more lowest denominators, transforming the fetched set of data to meet the one or more lowest denominators;
• determining one or more joinable keys for the fetched set of data, the one or more joinable keys providing a connection to a set of data stored in the database;
• and
• merging the fetched set of data into the database with the set of data stored in the database.
