[ddj] Using SQL for Lightweight Data Analysis - New Tutorial

Wed Mar 27 15:08:44 UTC 2013

Hi All,

There's a new tutorial on the School of Data which I thought might be of
interest:

<http://schoolofdata.org/2013/03/26/using-sql-for-lightweight-data-analysis/
>

This article introduces the use of SQL for lightweight data analysis
by walking through a small data investigation to answer the question:
who were the top recipients of Greater London Authority spending in
January 2013?

Along the way, it not only introduces SQL (and SQLite) but illustrates
various other skills such as locating and cleaning data and how to
load tabular data into a relational database.
