Study Notes

Data and Types of Data

  • Data is a recorded description or measurement.
  • Three types of data exist: structured, semi-structured, and unstructured.
  • Structured data is in a tabular format.
  • Semi-structured data uses categories and tags (identifiers).
  • Unstructured data is primarily text-heavy.

Importance of Planning Before Coding

  • Thorough planning leads to accurate results.
  • Planning ensures efficient coding.
  • Planning minimizes rework time.

Databases and Data Modeling

  • Databases are containers for organized data.
  • Data modeling structures and organizes data into related tables.
  • Data models represent business processes and relationships.

Relational Databases

  • Relational databases store data in tables.
  • They allow access to related data.

Entities, Attributes, and Relationships

  • Entities represent people, places, things, or events.
  • Attributes are characteristics or properties of entities.
  • Relationships define how entities interact.

Entity Relationship Diagrams

  • ER diagrams document and illustrate relationships.
  • They act as blueprints for database design.
  • Components include entities, attributes, and relationships.

SQL Language

  • SQL (Structured Query Language) is a computer language used to communicate with databases.
  • It allows editing and extracting data.
  • It's a non-procedural language, unlike other computer languages, not useful for complete applications

SQL Database Use

  • SQL is used for querying, adding, updating, and managing database data.

SQL Statements

  • SQL statements are used for selecting data.
  • The result is stored in a result set.
  • The FROM clause specifies the data source.
  • The WHERE clause filters data based on conditions.

Creating Tables

  • Databases can be modified using CREATE TABLE statements.
  • The CREATE TABLE statement is used for creating new tables in databases.
  • The INSERT INTO...VALUES statement places data into the new table.

SQL Data Types

  • SQL has numeric, character, and boolean data types. Examples of numeric types are integers, real numbers, decimals.

Temporary Tables

  • Temporary tables are for faster complex queries, deleted after use.
  • They're faster than creating permanent tables.

Data Filtering Using WHERE

  • The WHERE clause filters database records

Advanced Filtering Techniques

  • The IN, OR, AND, NOT operators refine filtering criteria.

Wildcards in Filtering

  • Wildcards substitute one or more characters for filtering.

Subqueries

  • Subqueries combine data from different tables.

SQL Joins

  • Joins combine data from multiple tables.
  • INNER JOIN combines rows with matching values in tables.
  • CROSS JOIN combines every row of one table with every row of another table.
  • LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN, and FULL OUTER JOIN provide diverse merging capabilities.

UNION, UNION ALL, INTERSECT

  • UNION combines results from select statements without duplicates.
  • UNION ALL combines results with duplicates.
  • INTERSECT returns common results between two select statements.

Data Visualization

  • Pre-attentive attributes, such as color and form, are quickly processed.
  • Gestalt principles of similarity, proximity, and closure help in visual grouping.
  • Data visualization aids understanding.
  • Data visualization should consider the audience's needs.
  • Effective visualizations consider the audience's analytical comfort level.
