Silent Disco: Introduction to Databases with SQLite

Databases mashup

 

Online

Managing data has become increasingly important in the Humanities and Social Sciences. Databases provide a powerful tool to allow for the storage, structuring and analysis of large amounts of data. In this workshop we will use SQLite, a flexible open-source database, to learn some of the basic concepts of database design and usage.  

In this workshop, you will learn about:  

  • Basic database design   

  • Importing and exporting data   

  • Querying datasets   

  • Analysing your data   

The workshop will take place via Microsoft Teams in a ‘Silent Disco’ format. This is an asynchronous event: when taking part, you will work through the tutorial at your own pace with an instructor available online to help you with any issues.  

This is a beginner level event. No previous knowledge on the topic is required/expected and the trainer will cover the basics of the method.  

Those who have registered to take part will receive an email with full details and a link to join the session in advance of the start time.
