Programming with Databases in Python using SQLite
If you are aspiring to be a data scientist you are going to be working with a lot of Data. Much of the data resides in Databases and hence you should be comfortable accessing data from databases through queries and then working on them to find key insights.
Data forms an integral part of the lives of Data Scientists. From the number of passengers in an airport to the count of stationary in a bookshop, everything is recorded today in form of digital files called databases. Databases are nothing more than electronic lists of information. Some databases are simple, and designed for smaller tasks while others are powerful, and designed for big data. All of them, however, have the same commonalities and perform a similar function. Different database tools store that information in unique ways. Flat files use a table, SQL databases use a relational model and NoSQL databases use a key-value model.
In this article, we will focus only on the Relational Databases and accessing them in Python. We will begin by having a quick overview of the Relational databases and their important constituents.
