Things we could improve
- Exercise answers not online
- Could have had more independent exercises. Was a bit slow for me (but I've already seen a bit of SQL)
- Keep table structure visible at all times, it would be easier to orient
- Too many tables to be changed. Good for join functions but lots to remember. How to export data? Which data can be imported? CSV? etc.
- Not sure if time - but be good to see how to use SQLite in R. Useful learning separate languages, but integration would be great.
- Would have liked to have written some scripts or stored commands in some way
- Would like longer to go through more topics - python integration etc.
- Should be more fluent. Want more introduction on the combination.
- Maybe schedule more time for this section in future. Would be good to see how it interacted w/ R (for example)
- Examples of when I might use SQL in different situations
- Would need a bit more time for the end
- Would be interested to know how to import txt files and export queries
- A printed sheet with the info of all tables would be useful. At the beginning only use 1 table.
- Class should be slightly longer. Including how to export the queries
