Concepts behind this area
Data Engineering
Data engineering is the discipline of moving records from the systems that produce them into a store where they can be queried, and of keeping that supply correct while the sources underneath keep changing.
SQL
SQL is the declarative language for asking questions of relational databases: you state which rows and columns you want and how tables relate, and the database engine works out how to retrieve them.
Data Analysis
Data analysis is the practice of interrogating data to answer a specific question, and of establishing how much weight the answer can bear.
