  Introduction If you’re working with cloud data, especially on AWS, chances are you’ll encounter data stored in CSV files inside an Amazon S3 bucket . Whether you're building a data pipeline or a quick analysis tool, reading data directly from S3 in Python is a fast, reliable, and scalable way to get started. In this blog post, we’ll walk through: Setting up access to S3 Reading a CSV file using Python and Boto3 Displaying headers and rows Tips to handle larger datasets Let’s jump in! What You’ll Need An AWS account An S3 bucket with a CSV file uploaded AWS credentials (access key and secret key) Python 3.x installed boto3 and pandas libraries installed (you can install them via pip) pip install boto3 pandas Step-by-Step: Read CSV from S3 Let’s say your S3 bucket is named my-data-bucket , and your CSV file is sample-data/employees.csv . ✅ Step 1: Import Required Libraries import boto3 import pandas as pd from io import StringIO boto3 is...

MongoDB Basics Tutorial top Resources

-
Mongo DB has rapidly grown to become a popular database for web applications and is a perfect fit for Node.JS applications, letting you write Javascript for the client, backend and database layer. Its schemaless nature is a better match to our constantly evolving data structures in web applications, and the integrated support for location queries is a bonus that’s hard to ignore.

Throw in Replica Sets for scaling, and we’re looking at really nice platform to grow your storage needs now and in the future. Now to shamelessly plug my driver. It can be downloaded via npm, or fetched from the github repository. To install via npm, do the following:

 npm install mongodb

or go fetch it from github at https://github.com/mongodb/node-mongodb-native
Once this business is taken care of, let’s move through the types available for the driver and then how to connect to your Mongo DB instance before facing the usage of some CRUD operations.

Mongo DB data types

So there is an important thing to keep in mind when working with Mongo DB, and that is the slight mapping difference between types Mongo DB supports and native Javascript data types. Let’s have a look at the types supported out of the box and then how types are promoted by the driver to fit as close to native Javascript types as possible.
  • Float is a 8 byte and is directly convertible to the Javascript type Number 
  • Double class a special class representing a float value, this is especially useful when using capped collections where you need to ensure your values are always floats. 
  • Integers is a bit trickier due to the fact that Javascript represents all Numbers as 64 bit floats meaning that the maximum integer value is at a 53 bit. Mongo has two types for integers, a 32 bit and a 64 bit. The driver will try to fit the value into 32 bits if it can and promote it to 64 bits if it has to. Similarly it will deserialize attempting to fit it into 53 bits if it can. If it cannot it will return an instance of Long to avoid losing precision. 
  • Long class a special class that lets you store 64 bit integers and also lets you operate on the 64 bit integers. 
  • Date maps directly to a Javascript Date 
  • RegExp maps directly to a Javascript RegExp 
  • String maps directly to a Javascript String (encoded in utf8) 
  • Binary class a special class that lets you store data in Mongo DB 
  • Code class a special class that lets you store javascript functions in Mongo DB, can also provide a scope to run the method in 
  • ObjectID class a special class that holds a MongoDB document identifier (the equivalent to a Primary key) 
  • DbRef class a special class that lets you include a reference in a document pointing to another object 
  • Symbol class a special class that lets you specify a symbol, not really relevant for javascript but for languages that supports the concept of symbols.
As we see the number type can be a little tricky due to the way integers are implemented in Javascript. The latest driver will do correct conversion up to 53 bits of complexity. If you need to handle big integers the recommendation is to use the Long class to operate on the numbers.

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-

SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...

5 SQL Queries That Popularly Used in Data Analysis

-
Image
 Here are five popular SQL queries frequently used in data analysis. 1. SELECT with Aggregations Summarize data by calculating aggregates like counts, sums, averages, etc. SELECT department, COUNT(*) as employee_count, AVG(salary) as average_salary FROM employees GROUP BY department; 2. JOIN Operations  Combine data from multiple tables based on a related column. SELECT e.employee_id, e.name, d.department_name FROM employees e JOIN departments d ON e.department_id = d.department_id; 3. WHERE Clause for Filtering Filter records based on specified conditions. SELECT * FROM sales WHERE sale_date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'   AND amount > 1000; 4. ORDER BY Clause for Sorting Sort results in ascending or descending order based on one or more columns. SELECT product_name, price FROM products ORDER BY price DESC; 5. GROUP BY with HAVING Clause Group records and apply conditions to the aggregated results. SELECT department, SUM(salary) as total_salaries FROM employ...
