• STATA data load by chunks:

# Specify the number of rows to read
n_rows_to_read = 10

# Create an empty DataFrame to store the data
df = pd.DataFrame()

# Read the .dta file in chunks and append to the DataFrame
chunksize = 1000  # Adjust chunk size as needed
for chunk in pd.read_stata('/content/drive/MyDrive/Colab Notebooks/IAIR7EFL.DTA',columns=['caseid'], chunksize=chunksize, convert_categoricals=False):
    df = pd.concat([df, chunk], ignore_index=True)
    if len(df) >= n_rows_to_read:
        break

# Display the first few rows to verify
df.head()
