Project Overview

The Advanced SQL Data Analytics Project is a hands-on initiative designed to simulate data analysis using fact and dimension tables. This project dives deep into various analytical techniques, focusing on trends over time, cumulative metrics, performance breakdowns, segmentation, and reporting through SQL.

You can find the latest releases here.

Features

• Fact and Dimension Tables: Understand the relationship between different data points.
• Trends Over Time: Analyze how data changes over specific periods.
• Cumulative Metrics: Calculate running totals to gauge performance.
• Performance Breakdowns: Segment data to identify strengths and weaknesses.
• Reporting: Generate comprehensive reports using SQL queries.
• Window Functions: Utilize advanced SQL features for enhanced data analysis.

• data/: Contains all data files including fact and dimension tables.
• sql_queries/: Holds SQL scripts for various analyses.
• reports/: Contains SQL scripts for generating reports.

Technologies Used

This project leverages the following technologies:

• SQL Server: For managing and querying the database.
• SQL: For data manipulation and analysis.
• Python: Optional for additional data processing (if required).
• Git: For version control.

Usage

To run SQL queries, follow these steps:

1. Open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS).
2. Connect to your database.
3. Open the relevant SQL script from the sql_queries/ folder.
4. Execute the script to analyze the data.

For example, to analyze trends over time, execute trends.sql. This will provide insights into how data varies across different time frames.
