Using the Dataiku DSS Python API for Interfacing with SQL Databases - Watch on Demand

CoreyS

In most companies, SQL databases are a primary source of data for data science projects. The seamless access to a broad range of SQL databases is a key feature of Dataiku DSS. DSS builds on this capability by providing a Python API for interfacing with SQL tables. This functionality is a boon for Data Scientists who use Python to develop and deploy machine learning projects.

@Marlan
(Senior Data Scientist, Premera Blue Cross) shared practical suggestions for making effective use of the Python API for interfacing with SQL databases across a number of use cases. The following topics are covered in the recording below:

• Reading SQL based data into Python
• Reading large tables using memory efficient practices
• Writing data from Python to SQL tables
• Executing SQL statement from Python

Below is the deck, including code samples, and the project export if you'd like to start playing with it in DSS!

We're wondering:

1. Tell us about your interest or experience working with the Python API for interfacing with SQL Data
2. Any best practices to share, or pitfalls to avoid?
