CH 1 Data Transfer Between Files SQL Databases and DataFrames

The document discusses transferring data between files, databases, and DataFrames in Python. It covers loading and saving CSV files to/from DataFrames, reading selected lines and handling different separators. It also discusses connecting DataFrames to SQL databases using SQLite and transferring data between them. Finally, it briefly mentions plotting DataFrames using Matplotlib.

Data Transfer Between Files, Databases

and DataFrames
Introduction
• In the last chapter we have learnt about python pandas library in
which we have gone through dataframes and series.

• In this chapter we will see that how to change data into .CSV file and
how to import data in the program from a .CSV file. (.CSV file, is a
file of Comma Seperated Values from which data can be taken to a
dataframe and vice-versa).

• In this chapter we will learn that how to connect a database table


with python by SQL commands.

• CSV format is a kind of tabular data separated by comma and is
stored in the form of plaintext.

Tabular Data
In CSV format-
• Each row of the table is stored in one row.
• The field-vales of a row are stored together with comma after every
field value.
Advantages of CSV format-
• A simple, compact and ubiquitous format for data storage.
• A common format for data interchange.
• It can be opened in popular spredsheet packages like MS-EXCEL etc.
• Nearly all spredsheets and databases support import/export to csv format.
Loading Data from CSV to DataFrame

Emp.csv file , in tabular format Emp.csv file , in Notepad format


Reading from a CSV file to DataFrame
import pandas as pd
<DF>=pd.read_csv(<FilePath>)
• Assume the file path as c:\data\emp.csv then following type of file
will be opened-

• If a file does not have top row i.e. Headings then it is possible to
provide headings in python.

Headings does nt come


from header=None

It takes data by skipping one


row from skiprows = 1
Reading selected lines fron CSV file

Use of nrows= <n>

Reading from CSV file when separator is other than comma

Use of sep= <char>


Writing from a DataFrame to CSV file
import pandas as pd
<DF>.to_csv(<FilePath>)
or
<DF>.to_csv(<FilePath>,sep=<char>)
• Suppose our file path is c:\data\data.csv then -

If there os NaN
values then it is
stored in file as
empty string.

Here @ is used
as seperator
Data transfer between DataFrames and SQL Database

• In this chapter we will learn that how to transfer data from SQL table
with the help of sqlite3 library of python. sqlite3 comes inbuilt with
python. sqlite3 library deals with SQLite databases.

• Use www.sqlite.org/download.html to download Sqlite3.

• We work on sqlite> prompt on Sqlite3. It supports all commands of


SQL which are supported by mysql.
