How to upload quote to the database

Step 1: Open the server folder source, create the /archives file as in the image below.
Step 2: After creating the archives folder, paste your zip files containing the quotes to be ingested inside the
/archives folder, as in the image below.
Step 3: The format for each quotes file should be as in the example file below, this is just a test file as directed to use a * * test file for configuring. If a real sample file available for use, drop it and i will reconfigure the pipeline to the format.
Step 4: On the command interface, navigate to the server folder ((venv) samman@samman:~/Documents/My_CodeBase/Quote_Plotter_App/* Quote_Manager_server$) this is my example CI, might be diffferent on a windows. check the image below for example.
Then run the code "python3 batch_ingest.py" to activate the ingestion.
Step 5: You get a success message on CI.
INFO:quote_db:Quotes inserted successfully for session 20_test2 (2004 quotes)
INFO:ingest:Ingestion completed for archive file: 02.07.2025_10.07.2025
Ignore "Skipping empty row: {'Ts': '', 'Bid': '', 'Ask': '', 'Type': ''}" error for now. it ingests the quotes nonetheless,
though i am working on clearing the error which i think stems from me editing the original excel file in other to add the type
column.
Note: confirm that the excel file format is same as in the example. CHeck excel file ? Same format : send sample to reconfigure.
