Welcome to this week's Five Data Points.
I'm Dinuraj, and I want to share with you five interesting articles I've read this week that I believe will be valuable to you.
1 - Beyond SQL
Just as SQL can, but shouldn’t, be used to define complex statistical analysis, perhaps SQL can, but probably shouldn’t, be used to model the complex operations of a business.
2 - Examining the limitations of SQL
3 - SQL is not great for funnels
4 - While we’re using SQL, might as well optimise it
5 - And simplify it…
I hope these articles enriched your thinking with fresh perspectives and deeper insight. Let me know if any of the articles especially resonate with you, or you have topics that you want explored further.
If you found any value in this at all, do pass it along to your friends and colleagues who you think might benefit from it.
Thanks for joining me on this journey of expanding our knowledge about data. I'll see you again next week with more to learn.
