📋 Supported File Formats

Format	Description	Support	Converter Class
.phd	Clarion TopSpeed database files	✅ Full	SqliteConverter
.mod	Clarion TopSpeed model files	✅ Full	SqliteConverter
.tps	Clarion TopSpeed files	✅ Full	SqliteConverter
.phz	Zip archives containing TopSpeed files	✅ Full	PhzConverter

🔧 File Types and Usage

Single TopSpeed Files (.phd, .mod, .tps)

Use SqliteConverter for individual TopSpeed files:

from converter.sqlite_converter import SqliteConverter

converter = SqliteConverter()
result = converter.convert('input.phd', 'output.sqlite')

Multiple TopSpeed Files (Combined Database)

Use SqliteConverter.convert_multiple() to combine multiple files into one SQLite database:

from converter.sqlite_converter import SqliteConverter

converter = SqliteConverter()
result = converter.convert_multiple(
    ['file1.phd', 'file2.mod', 'file3.tps'], 
    'combined.sqlite'
)

PHZ Files (Zip Archives)

Use PhzConverter for .phz files (zip archives containing TopSpeed files):

from converter.phz_converter import PhzConverter

converter = PhzConverter()
result = converter.convert_phz('input.phz', 'output.sqlite')

Reverse Conversion (SQLite to TopSpeed)

Use ReverseConverter to convert SQLite databases back to TopSpeed files:

from converter.reverse_converter import ReverseConverter

converter = ReverseConverter()
result = converter.convert_sqlite_to_topspeed('input.sqlite', 'output_directory/')

🔄 Multidimensional Array Handling

Pytopspeed Modernized includes advanced support for TopSpeed multidimensional arrays, automatically detecting and converting array fields to JSON format in SQLite.

Array Detection

The system automatically detects two types of arrays:

1. Single-Field Arrays: Large fields containing multiple elements (e.g., 96-byte DAT:PROD1 with 12 elements)
2. Multi-Field Arrays: Multiple small fields forming an array (e.g., CUM:PROD1, CUM:PROD2, etc.)

Example: MONHIST Table

# TopSpeed structure
DAT:PROD1    # 96-byte field with 12 DOUBLE elements
DAT:PROD2    # 96-byte field with 12 DOUBLE elements
DAT:PROD3    # 96-byte field with 12 DOUBLE elements

# SQLite result
PROD1        # JSON: [1.5, 2.3, 0.0, null, ...]
PROD2        # JSON: [0.8, 1.2, 0.0, null, ...]
PROD3        # JSON: [2.1, 1.8, 0.0, null, ...]

Data Type Preservation

• Zero vs NULL: Distinguishes between actual zero values (0.0) and missing data (null)
• Boolean Arrays: Converts BYTE arrays to proper boolean values (true/false)
• Numeric Arrays: Preserves DOUBLE, LONG, SHORT precision
• String Arrays: Maintains text encoding and length

Querying Array Data

-- Query array elements
SELECT 
    LSE_ID,
    json_extract(PROD1, '$[0]') as PROD1_Month1,
    json_extract(PROD1, '$[1]') as PROD1_Month2
FROM MONHIST;

-- Filter by array content
SELECT * FROM MONHIST 
WHERE json_extract(PROD1, '$[0]') > 100.0;

-- Count non-null elements
SELECT LSE_ID,
       json_array_length(PROD1) as PROD1_Count
FROM MONHIST;

# Convert a single .phd, .mod, or .tps file
converter = SqliteConverter()
results = converter.convert('input.phd', 'output.sqlite')
print(f"Success: {results['success']}, Records: {results['total_records']}")

Multiple Files to Combined Database

from converter.sqlite_converter import SqliteConverter

# Combine multiple TopSpeed files into one SQLite database
converter = SqliteConverter()
results = converter.convert_multiple(
    ['file1.phd', 'file2.mod'], 
    'combined.sqlite'
)
print(f"Files processed: {results['files_processed']}")

phz_converter = PhzConverter()
results = phz_converter.convert_phz('input.phz', 'output.sqlite')

🚨 Common Issues and Solutions

Wrong Converter for File Type

Problem: Using SqliteConverter.convert() with a .phz file

# ❌ WRONG - This will fail
converter = SqliteConverter()
result = converter.convert('input.phz', 'output.sqlite')  # Error: 'TPS' object has no attribute 'tables'

Solution: Use PhzConverter.convert_phz() for .phz files

# ✅ CORRECT
from converter.phz_converter import PhzConverter
converter = PhzConverter()
result = converter.convert_phz('input.phz', 'output.sqlite')

File Not Found

Problem: File path doesn't exist

# ❌ WRONG - File doesn't exist
result = converter.convert('nonexistent.phd', 'output.sqlite')

Solution: Check file exists before conversion

import os
if os.path.exists('input.phd'):
    result = converter.convert('input.phd', 'output.sqlite')
else:
    print("File not found!")

Import Errors

Problem: Import path issues

# ❌ WRONG - Incorrect import path
from sqlite_converter import SqliteConverter  # ModuleNotFoundError

Solution: Use correct import path

# ✅ CORRECT
from converter.sqlite_converter import SqliteConverter

🎯 Key Features

Table Name Prefixing

When converting multiple files, tables are automatically prefixed to avoid conflicts:

• .phd files → phd_ prefix (e.g., phd_OWNER, phd_CLASS)
• .mod files → mod_ prefix (e.g., mod_DEPRECIATION, mod_MODID)
• .tps files → tps_ prefix
• Other files → file_N_ prefix

Column Name Sanitization

Column names are automatically sanitized for SQLite compatibility:

• Prefix removal: TIT:PROJ_DESCR → PROJ_DESCR
• Special characters: . → _
• Numeric prefixes: 123FIELD → _123FIELD
• Reserved words: ORDER → ORDER_TABLE

Error Handling

• Graceful degradation - Continue processing despite individual table errors
• Detailed logging - Comprehensive error reporting and debugging information
• Data preservation - Ensure data integrity even with parsing issues
• Recovery mechanisms - Automatic handling of common issues
