Transportation Data Webinar: A Brief Introduction to Relational Databases and SQL [July 21st]
Relational databases such as Microsoft SQL Server, PostgreSQL and Oracle are one tool that can be used to manage and query large data sets. In this webinar, we give a brief introduction to relational databases and SQL — the language that is used to communicate with relational databases. Participants will learn the key structures of relational databases (relations, keys and types), and will learn how to write simple SQL queries.
This webinar is organized by the Portland State University’s Transportation Research Education Center
