GC Digital Fellows Workshop: “Databases Part II: Querying in the Real World”

Thursday, October 13th, 6:30-8:30 PM
Registration opens October 6th

Databases are a ubiquitous piece of software on our personal computers and on the internet. They enable the storage of data in such a way that we can access it in a reliable and robust way. One of the most important types of databases are ones that store data in structured tables and provide users access to the data through SQL, a querying language which allows us to filter, sort, and combine our data. This workshop will build on the basics of SQL covered in Databases (part 1) on Oct. 4th, and [topics] We will use a MySQL database set up for a Wordpress website to reveal one of the many secrets to the magic of the internet. The topics covered in this workshop are applicable across different SQL implementations, including MySQL, SQLite, and PostgreSQL. [this builds on the content covered in Databases 1 - if you are unable to attend the first session, please look through the tutoral available here: https://digitalfellows.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2016/04/08/fun-times-with-sqlite-or-a-beginners-tutorial-to-data-management-and-databases-with-sql/]
