Waiting too long for Excel's VLOOKUP? Use SQLite for simple data analysis!Amanda Lam
** This workshop was conducted in the Hong Kong Open Source Conference 2017 **
Excel formulas can be quite slow when you're processing data files with thousands of rows. It's also especially difficult to maintain the files when you have some messy mixture of VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables, Macros and VBAs.
In this interactive workshop targeted for non-coders, we will make use of SQLite, a very lightweight and portable open source database library, to perform some simple and repeatable data analysis on large datasets that are publicly available. We will also explore what you can further do with the data by using some powerful extensions of SQLite.
While SQLite may not totally replace Excel in many ways, after the workshop you will find that it can improve your work efficiency and make your life much easier in so many use cases!
Who should attend this workshop?
- If you're frustrated with the slow performance of Excel formulas when dealing with large datasets in your daily work
- No coding experience is required
Constraints are the rules enforced on the data columns of a table. These are used to limit the type of data that can go into a table. This ensures the accuracy and reliability of the data in the database.
Constraints can be divided into following two types:
Column level constraints : limits only column data
Table level constraints : limits whole table data
Aggregate Functions

ECET 450 Laboratory 2Lab 2 involves two parts.Part A involv.docxjenkinsmandie
ECET 450: Laboratory 2
Lab 2 involves two parts.
Part A
involves normalizing a small part of a DB. The steps to complete this exercise include getting the data items into 1NF, 2NF, and 3NF. The final step is to generate the ERD for the table or tables that are in the dependency diagram in 3NF.
Part B
provides practice in the creation of realistic tables and their relationships using Oracle SQL*Plus and introduces writing SQL*Plus script files. This laboratory exercise creates a relatively simple invoice system using SQL statements. This DB schema is used throughout the next several weeks of laboratory exercises. The final product is an SQL script that makes it possible to initially create and re-create, if need be, the DB schema in order to do to the later laboratory exercises.

Normal Form requirements. Rename attributes to meet the naming conventions. Create new entities and attributes as necessary.
Draw the crow’s foot ERD with the VISIO drawing tool using the results of step 2.
Part B:
Purpose:
This laboratory provides practice in the creation of realistic tables and their relationships using Oracle SQL*Plus and introduces writing SQL*Plus script files. This laboratory exercise creates a relatively simple invoice system using SQL statements. This DB schema is used throughout the next several weeks of laboratory exercises. The final product is an SQL script that makes it possible to initially create and re-create, if need be, the DB schema in order to do to the later laboratory exercises.
Procedure:
Using your assigned user name, password, and host string, log in to Oracle SQL*Plus. Record your dialog with a spool file.
Following the four requirements below, create the 5 tables shown later in this laboratory exercise, and enter all data as shown. Be sure to record your interactions with SQL*Plus using the spool command.
Use table names, attribute names, and data exactly as shown. The one exception is that you will omit the dollar sign and comma separators in the money amounts. Accurately enter the data as you will .

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

14. Use the post processing command to generate the Excel output 1/3 From RPE 1.1.2, it is possible to run commands that post process the results before and after the publishing process. The command is introduced through a new property in the metadata: post-command. You can use the output file path in the command using the $output variable that is maintained by Rational Publishing Engine. The output formats are referenced in the command using the form: ${word}, ${html}, ${pdf}, ${xslfo} Note: The pre-command and post-command are executed only once, regardless of the number of templates, data sources and outputs available.
15. Use the post processing command to generate the Excel output 2/3 With the standalone installation for RAEC it is possible to generate Excel documents from the command line using this command: Parameters: -fo : the path for the XslFo input file -xls : the path for the result Excel file
16. Use the post processing command to generate the Excel output 3/3 Write the command to generate the Excel file. Use the ${XslFo} variable for input. This variable will point to the XslFo file that will be generated by RPE. Use the same variable for the path were Excel file will be generated. The converter automatically adds .xls extension at the end.
