This workshop provides an overview of the utility and base SQL
commands for working with data in a relational database. We’ll focus on
querying data to get to know a database and answer questions, and
combining data from separate tables.
After this workshop, learners should be able to:
- Identify the benefits of working with SQL;
- Perform common SQL commands including sorting, filtering,
calculating values, aggregating, combining data, and basic data cleaning
(i.e., replace missing values);
- Combine commands to construct a query to answer a specific question; and
- Access additional resources for using SQL in other software like R.
Prerequisites: Learners should attend the “Introduction to databases and data
storage technologies” workshop. No prior programming experience is
necessary. Bring your laptop to the workshop with SQLite (https://sqlitestudio.pl/) installed and running.
