Harrison Dekker is the Head of the Library Data Lab in Doe Library. In addition to providing data services, he is actively involved in broader library and campus technology initiatives.
Relational database management systems (RDBMS) offer many advantages for researchers whose work involves the analysis of data stored in multiple and interrelated datasets. In this workshop, participants will learn how to use MySQL, a popular open source RDBMS, and Structured Query Language (SQL) to create, modify, and extract data from a relational database. Attention will also be given to the data modeling techniques fundamental to implementing an RDBMS-based workflow.
