RETRIEVAL & LOADING the data!

Thread 🧡
βœ… RETRIEVE THE DATA

The SELECT command allows the retrieval of information as per our requirements.

You can select/retrieve:-
1. All the data from the table using *
2. A single column
3. Multiple columns
1️⃣ Select all columns of the table

SELECT * from table_name;

πŸ‘‰ E.g., Selecting/Retrieving all the values from the classroom1 table.

2️⃣ Select one column from the table

SELECT column_name from table_name;

πŸ‘‰ E.g., Selecting the student_name column from the table classroom1. Retrieving ALL the columns ...Retrieving ONE column from ...
3️⃣ Select multiple columns from the table

SELECT colname1, colname2, colname3 from table_name;

πŸ‘‰ E.g., Selecting ID, student_name and age columns from classroom1 table.

Note: The retrieval of columns would be in the same order as the columns are mentioned in the table. Retrieving multiple columns...
βœ… LOAD THE DATA

To load the data from a file:-

Command -> source filename.sql

πŸ‘‰ E.g., source Desktop/mysqlsampledatafile.sql

I had attended a webinar recently and learnt something incredibly unique! I discovered that you could be a Data Scientist, but having a #specialisation is IMPORTANT!

What is a "specialisation"? How many kinds of specialisations are there in #DataScience Domain?

Thread🧡 Image
*Specialisation*
One can acquire all the skills of a Data Scientist, but having specialisation in a particular skill can set you apart from the rest. It can be anything! You can analyse data as no one else; data visualisation or database management (#DBMS) could be your niche.🀩
β˜‘οΈData Visualisation
If you have a knack for producing beautiful graphical representations from the data, this could be your domain of specialisation, and you could become a Data #Visualisation Engineer. Image
