To help you on the path to becoming a Snowflake pro, this concise yet comprehensive guide reviews fundamentals and best practices for Snowflake's SQL and Scripting languages. Developers and data professionals will learn how to generate, modify, and query data in the Snowflake relational database management system as well as how to apply analytic functions for reporting. Author Alan Beaulieu also shows you how to create scripts, stored functions, and stored procedures to return data sets using Snowflake Scripting. This book is ideal whether you're new to databases and need to run queries or reports against a Snowflake database, or transitioning from databases such as Oracle, SQL Server, or MySQL to cloud-based platforms. What Is SQL Scripting? If you have programmed with a procedural language such as Java, C#, or Go, you are familiar with such programming constructs as looping, if-then-else, and exception handling. SQL, being a nonprocedural language, has none of these constructs. To bridge this gap, most database platforms provide both a nonprocedural SQL implementation along with a procedural language that includes both the SQL data statements such as select and insert along with all of the usual procedural programming constructs.

If you were handed two different but related sets of data, what tools would you use to find the matches? What if all you had was SQL SELECT access to a database? In this practical book, author Jim Lehmer provides best practices, techniques, and tricks to help you import, clean, match, score, and think about heterogeneous data using SQL. DBAs, programmers, business analysts, and data scientists will learn how to identify and remove duplicates, parse strings, extract data from XML and JSON, generate SQL using SQL, regularize data and prepare datasets, and apply data quality and ETL approaches for finding the similarities and differences between various expressions of the same data. Full of real-world techniques, the examples in the book contain working code.

This book provides practitioners with structured methods for transforming geospatial data into the useful information they need to solve some of the world's most pressing problems. It spotlights the importance of location for human experience in the everyday world and introduces spatial thinking as a foundation and the location mindset as a foundational perspective. The book starts by showing how geospatial analysis is part of a more general data-to-information refinement process that requires the right mindset, toolset, and skillset to achieve. The book then presents structured principles and practices to help geospatial analysts--whether in government or industry--improve their observational, analytical, and communication techniques. These techniques are part of an original framework for interpreting geospatial data and information: the Observe, Analyze, Communicate (OAC) Framework. The OAC framework helps practitioners at all levels break down the basic steps of their day-to-day practice and learn valuable tradecraft that they can employ during each step. You'll learn how to center location as a foundational perspective in everyday life; use unique geospatial observation, analysis, and communication techniques; and know how to account for the role of uncertainty in assessment and production processes -- including utilizing special techniques to effectively communicate levels of certainty and uncertainty to your audience.

Understanding the significance of data analytics is paramount for digital transformation but in many organizations they are separate units without fully aligned goals. As organizations are applying digital transformations to be adaptive and agile in a competitive environment, data analytics can play a critical role in their success. This book explores the crossroads between them and how to leverage their connection for improved business outcomes. The need to collaborate and share data is becoming an integral part of digital transformation. This not only creates new opportunities but also requires well-considered and continuously assessed decision-making as competitiveness is at stake. This book details approaches, concepts, and frameworks, as well as actionable insights and good practices, including combined data management and agile concepts. Volumes of data are growing at an unprecedented speed, driven by the Internet of Things (IoT) and unstructured data (e.g. social media content), as well as additional data generated by transforming into digital organizations. This feeds back into data analytics as well as Data Science, requiring even more mature data management and governance to achieve enriched insights. In addition, the need to collaborate and share data is becoming an integral part of digital transformations. This not only creates new opportunities but also requires well-considered and continuously assessed decision-making as competitiveness is at stake. This book details approaches, concepts, and frameworks, as well as actionable insights and good practices, including combined data management and agile concepts.

This book explains how to implement a data lake strategy, covering the technical and business challenges architects commonly face. It also illustrates how and why client requirements should drive architectural decisions. Drawing upon a specific case from his own experience, author Nayanjyoti Paul begins with the consideration from which all subsequent decisions should flow: what does your customer need? He also describes the importance of identifying key stakeholders and the key points to focus on when starting a new project. Next, he takes you through the business and technical requirement-gathering process, and how to translate customer expectations into tangible technical goals. From there, you’ll gain insight into the security model that will allow you to establish security and legal guardrails, as well as different aspects of security from the end user’s perspective. You’ll learn which organizational roles need to be onboarded into the data lake, their responsibilities, the services they need access to, and how the hierarchy of escalations should work. Subsequent chapters explore how to divide your data lakes into zones, organize data for security and access, manage data sensitivity, and techniques used for data obfuscation. Audit and logging capabilities in the data lake are also covered before a deep dive into designing data lakes to handle multiple kinds and file formats and access patterns. For Data Scientists and Architects, Machine Learning Engineers, and Software Engineers.

The first in a new series exploring the basics of Raspberry Pi Operating System (OS) administration, this volume is a compendium of easy-to-use and essential system administration for the novice user of the Raspberry Pi OS. The overriding idea behind the system administration of a modern, 21st-century Linux system such as the Raspberry Pi OS is the use of systemd to ensure that the Linux kernel works efficiently and effectively to provide the three foundation stones of computer operation and management: computer system concurrency, virtualization, and secure persistence. Exercises are included throughout to reinforce the readers’ learning goals with solutions and example code provided on the accompanying GitHub site. This book is a compendium of easy-to-use and essential Raspberry Pi OS system administration tasks for the beginner. The Raspberry Pi OS is derived from the Debian branch of Linux, and as of this writing, Debian Bullseye was the most current version of that operating system. To present the system administration topics and commands here, I have selected some very basic stuff, and a few more advanced concepts, topics, commands, and details that might not appear in a more complete system administration book.
