In this workshop, we provide an introduction to using SQL to query and retrieve data from relational databases in R. First, we’ll cover what relational databases and SQL are. Then, we’ll use different packages in R to navigate relational databases using SQL.

SQL is a viable option for anyone working with a large dataset. For this reason, SQL is a must-skill if you intend to work with big data or data-intensive organizations. The workshop aims to demonstrate that SQL is easy to learn, if you already know how to use the dplyr package in R. This will be a very hands-on workshop, with live coding.

After this workshop, you will be able to:

  • Explain what a relational database is and why we would want to use it.
  • Access and query a database using SQL.
  • Use DBI and dbplyr to query data from a relational database.
