NHS Dictionary of medicines and devices (dm+d) SQL parser
These Python and SQL scripts are used to parse the dm+d releases in XML format into a MySQL database. Relational fields are referenced together using foreign keys, and the description of the columns are stored in their comments.
You can download the official releases of dm+d for free from https://isd.digital.nhs.uk.
## Usage
Install MySQL server, unzip the dm+d releases into a folder and clone this repo.
Run `python parser.py -u [your mysql username] -p [your mysql password] -d [relative or absolute path to the directory containing the dm+d folders]`
