Data Analysis With MYSQL
Course Objectives
Modules
Introduction to Data Engineering and Relational Databases
This module provides an overview of data engineering roles, responsibilities, and the principles behind relational databases. It introduces MySQL, covering installation, setup, and the architecture of relational database management systems (RDBMS). Basic database concepts like tables, columns, rows, and data types are also discussed to establish a solid foundation.
Database Design and Normalization
Focuses on the principles of effective database design, including entity-relationship (ER) modeling and normalization to ensure data integrity and minimize redundancy. It introduces techniques for creating well-structured databases and discusses denormalization strategies for optimizing performance. Real-world schema design examples are included to illustrate best practices.
SQL Basics for Data Engineering
Covers fundamental SQL commands for data retrieval and manipulation, such as SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Students learn how to filter, sort, and aggregate data using clauses like WHERE, ORDER BY, and GROUP BY. This module aims to build essential SQL skills for querying databases efficiently.
Advanced SQL Techniques:
Introduces more complex SQL functionalities, including multiple types of JOINs, subqueries, window functions, and Common Table Expressions (CTEs). The module delves into recursive queries and advanced data retrieval techniques to handle complex datasets, stored procedures, triggers enabling students to perform sophisticated data analysis tasks..
Indexing and Query Optimization
Explores how to improve query performance using indexing, execution plans, and query optimization techniques. Students learn to create and manage different types of indexes, analyze query performance, and apply strategies to optimize slow-running queries, making database operations more efficient.
MySQL in the Cloud and Scalability
Focuses on deploying MySQL databases in cloud environments such as AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure. Topics include scaling databases using sharding and replication, setting up high availability, and best practices for cloud-based data management. Backup and disaster recovery strategies specific to cloud environments are also discussed.
