Mar 12: Build database, Python faker

Learning Objectives

After today's class, you should be able to:

  • Build a database using a SQL script
  • Use the faker module to create data

Finish Tuesday's activity:

  • Create the CRS database in your personal schema by running the create.sql script in pgadmin.
  • Write and run a python program that fills at least 4 related tables in the CRS database using the faker module. Use the row counts from Tuesday's activity.
  • Confirm that the tables and the data exist in the database and then submit the python file in Canvas.
  • This example python program creates tables (your program should not), but also shows how to generate data using faker and insert it: fake_hotels.py

Work on homework 4 and/or 5

  • Confirm HW4 groups

Your To-Do List
