UpdateCursor with domain value

[JohnConnor01]

Hello,

I was given a .csv with data to update in the database. The csv is just an export from ArcGIS and data updates were made in that spreadsheet. I've done this before using arcpy, but the values in this csv are NOT the coded values this time: they are the actual text domain value. I was thinking I could make a dictionary possibly to do this so... for each attribute field, find the domain it uses, then find all domain codes and the their text value matches. Then if they were in a dict, I could call the domain text value to get the associated coded value domain. I'm getting so lost in the loops. Also, lots of examples I see online use .gdbs, I use an .sde connection.

I would be so grateful for any help - afraid I'm about to lose my job.

Thank you!!
