Connect Python to a SQLite database and write queries for business questions.
In this project, you will connect Python to the Chinook database , a sample SQLite database that represents a small digital music store. You will write SQL queries directly from a Jupyter Notebook to explore the data and answer business questions.
Because SQLite needs no server or configuration, this is the easiest way to learn SQL alongside Python.
Download the Chinook database file and connect to it using Python's sqlite3 library
Explore the database schema: identify all tables and their relationships
Write SQL queries to answer the following questions:
Which are the 10 best-selling tracks?
Which country generates the most revenue?
Who is the top-performing sales employee?
Load query results into Pandas DataFrames
Visualize at least one result with a bar chart
You will learn how to write SELECT , JOIN , GROUP BY , and ORDER BY statements and how to move data from SQL into Pandas for visualization. You will also understand when SQL is more convenient than Pandas for querying structured data.
