Data analysis tutoring can be a money making side hustle — in just 1 month, you can make bank from the recliner.
I have a student coming today who is attending a boot camp. she now is spending more money getting a tutor’s help. when I went to bootcamp, I was greatly disappointed by how little help you got from the teachers.
My student is now tasked with taking a complicated project out of Excel and putting it into SQL. So I’m asking Chadita (that’s what i call ChatGPT) for help and this is what she gives me:
Translating a project from Excel to SQL can be a great way to manage and query your data more efficiently. Here are some steps to help you get started:
1. Understand Your Data Structure:
- Identify the tables you need to create in SQL. Each sheet in your Excel file can correspond to a table in SQL.
- Define the columns and data types for each table. For example, if you have a column with dates, you might use the `DATE` data type in SQL.
2. Prepare Your Data:
- Clean your Excel data to ensure there are no errors or inconsistencies.
- Remove any unnecessary formatting or empty rows/columns.
