Study Notes
Data and Types of Data
- Data is a recorded description or measurement.
- Three types: structured (tabular), semi-structured (categories/tags), unstructured (text-heavy).
Importance of Planning Before Coding
- Accurate results.
- Efficiency.
- Reduced rework time.
Databases and Data Modeling
- A database is a container for organized data.
- Data modeling organizes and structures information into related tables, representing business processes and their relationships.
Relational Databases
- Relational databases organize data into related tables.
- Data stored as tables related to each other.
Entities, Attributes, and Relationships
- Entities are things, people, places, or events.
- Attributes are characteristics or properties of entities.
- Relationships show how entities interact.
Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERDs)
- ERDs are blueprints for database relationships.
- Components: entities, attributes, and relationships.
Structured Query Language (SQL)
- SQL is a specialized language for interacting with databases.
- Used for querying, inserting, updating, and modifying data in a database.
SQL in Databases
- Data manipulation within databases, including: read/retrieve, write, update.
- SQL can translate and is dialect-specific.
Basic SQL SELECT Statements
- SELECT statements retrieve data from a database.
- Retrieving data into a result set or table.
Data Table Creation
- Creating new tables improves modeling and prediction.
- Aids in creating dashboards and visualizing data.
- Easier to extract data from other sources.
SQL Data Insertion
- Inserting data into tables using INSERT INTO.
Basic SQL Data Types
- Types include numeric (integers, decimals), character, and boolean.
Temporary Tables
- Temporary tables are for faster queries than creating real tables.
- Useful for joining and subsetting data.
- Deleted when the session ends.
Filtering Data using WHERE Clause
- Filtering data: using operators like equal, greater than, less than, between, not equal.
- Used to select specific records based on conditions.
Advanced Filtering Techniques
- Using IN operator (multiple values) or OR, AND, and NOT operators to filter with multiple conditions.
Filtering with Wildcards
- Wildcard characters (e.g., % or _) can help find patterns in data.
Data Sorting
- Sorting data is important for better analysis.
Subqueries
- Subqueries are queries inside other queries allowing more complex retrievals of data.
SQL Joins
- Combining related data from two or more tables into a single result set.
- Types include Cartesian/Cross, INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, and FULL OUTER JOINs.
Data Visualization: Importance of Pre-Attentive Attributes; Color, Form, Spatial Postioning, Movement
- Data visualization emphasizes important information characteristics that immediately catch the viewer's attention.
- Using these, effective communication can occur.
Understanding Audience Needs and Analytical Ability
- Understanding your audience's needs and analytical skillset is critical to creating effective presentations.
- Tailoring the message is important for optimal impact.
