Introduction to the course and what we will be covering!
Download and install PostgreSQL on your Windows machine, choose installation options, set a password, review the default port, and complete the setup.
Explore how an erd maps a database structure with tables for houses, rooms, and occupants, detailing columns, data types, and one-to-many relationships via crow's feet notation.
Explore the star schema, a flat data structure optimized for information delivery in data warehouses, centering analysis on a fact table with dimensions and system generated primary keys.
Create a database and a product list table in PostgreSQL, with product_code as the integer primary key, and load csv data into it using copy, then query with select.
Learn how to write basic select statements and filter data with where, in, not in, and like. Rename columns, order results, limit rows, and format prices for display.
Download the two course resources: the cell statuses and the cells grip data sees, to begin the exercises and apply them.
Create a product sales information package by identifying dimensions such as customers, products, stores, regions, and sales reps, with facts like quantity and price, and explore flat versus snowflake designs.
Create Power BI dashboards from imported data, applying filters and slices, and refresh data before publishing online. Add calculated columns with DAX and drill down by region and store.
This course will teach you data engineering from start to finish. This course covers all you need to know from the physical design of our data structures to implementation where we the course will provide you with step by step instructions to follow along.
We will be using unformatted source data and convert this data into usable and valuable information. This process entails everything you need to know, from data design, ETL, information access, data analysis, and lastly information presentation in the form of business intelligence.
This course will include data files that you can use to follow along in the step by step tutorials, to ensure that you have all the information that you need at your disposal to make this course a breeze.
We will be looking at the processes that I have found to work the best in a real live environment. These are methods that can be employed in any business and the teachings of this course will provide you with the required information to start your journey in data engineering.
We will be looking at the following main topics in this course:
Data Design
Data Structuring
Dimensional Modeling
UML (Unified Modeling Language)
ERDs (Entity Relational Models)
SQL (Structured Query Language)
Power BI
etc.
I look forward to seeing you in the course and sharing this learning experience with you!
