Replace data source from CSV to SQL: is this a new feature?

[andreassot10]

I have a question about the process in the Git Branching Model , because I feel that what I am trying to do does not fit into any of the branch definitions in the method.

Briefly, I am working on a development version in the repo of which I have deposited CSV files that my Python scripts pull.

The long-term goal is to replace these CSV files with an SQL query in Python that pulls the data directly from the database.

So it looks like it is not a change for a Release branch, and it is definitely not a Hotfix. I also feel that this change should not be implemented on develop directly (correct me if I'm wrong)?

I was wondering if this change could be considered as a new feature- the feature in this case being the direct communication with the database?

Thanks
