Data Analysis with SQL, Python and Spotfire Training Course
In this instructor-led, live training, participants will explore three distinct approaches to accessing, analysing and visualising data. We begin with an introduction to RDMS databases, focusing on accessing and querying an Oracle database using the SQL language. Next, we examine strategies for programmatically accessing an RDMS database using Python. Finally, we demonstrate how to visualise and present data graphically using TIBCO Spotfire.
Course Format
- Interactive lectures and discussions.
- Extensive exercises and practical practice.
- Hands-on implementation in a live-lab environment.
