| 11 | +### Set-Up ### |
| 12 | +```{r} |
| 13 | +# install.packages("RSQLite") |

| 15 | +library(RSQLite) |

| 18 | +SQL == Structured Query Language |
| 19 | +SQL is the most used language worldwide for relational databases |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | + |
| 22 | +data tables we are using are: mtcars; iris |
| 23 | +```{r} |
| 24 | +mtcars$car_names <- rownames(mtcars) # string operator to adds a new column |
| 25 | +iris |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +# Create a database |
| 29 | +```{r} |
| 30 | +db <- dbConnect(RSQLite::SQLite(), "") |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | +summary(db) # base R - what is "db"? |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | +# add data tables in |
| 35 | +dbWriteTable(db, "mtcars", mtcars) # database connection, name of the table |
| 36 | +# and the actual dataframe mtcars from R |
| 37 | +dbWriteTable(db, "iris", iris) |
| 38 | +
|
| 39 | +dbListTables(db) # two tables in my database |
| 40 | +``` |
| 41 | + |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +# Write SQL Queries |
| 44 | +```{r} |
| 45 | +# star * wildcard == select all |
| 46 | +dbGetQuery(db, "SELECT * FROM mtcars") |
| 47 | +
|
| 48 | +# select certain columns |
| 49 | +dbGetQuery(db, "SELECT car_names, mpg, qsec FROM mtcars") |
| 50 | +
|
| 51 | +
|

| 53 | +# mpg is between 10-15 |

| 55 | + WHERE mpg BETWEEN 10 AND 15") |
| 56 | +
|
| 57 | +dbGetQuery(db, "SELECT * from mtcars WHERE qsec > 15") |
| 58 | +``` |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +# Create a new data table |
| 61 | + |
| 62 | +```{r} |
| 63 | +# make a new table in R (not SQL sorry) |
| 64 | +car <- c("Camaro", "Mustang", "Explorer", "California") # column 1 |
| 65 | +make <- c("Chevrolet", "Ferrari", "Ford", "Dodges") # column 2 |

| 84 | +# there is no way to get bottom |
| 85 | +# but we can use GROUP BY and ORDER BY |
| 86 | +

| 97 | +# what if you want car names starting with M or disp bigger than 170? |
| 98 | +# less strict: car names that don't start with M as long as disp is |
| 99 | +# still bigger than 170, or vice versa |
