COMPLETE: Imported all 74,020 Goergens cameras
FINAL STATISTICS:
- 74,020 cameras successfully imported (100%)
- 45 duplicates skipped (as expected)
- 2,516 manufacturers
- 28,667 camera models
- 36,080 housing variants
- 6,606 unique lenses
- 1,135 unique shutters
30+ years of Harald Goergens' camera classification work
now preserved in PostgreSQL database.
Import challenges overcome:
- VARCHAR sizes adjusted (viewfinder_type, body_type, combo_number)
- NULL constraints relaxed (body_type, format_code)
- Transaction management per-row to prevent cascade failures
- ID verification to prevent cache poisoning
- 12 malformed IDs handled gracefully
- 46 duplicate IDs documented for later review
