Join us this Friday, May 27th to learn how to optimize your SQL queries!
Wesley Rolfson started working with data when he was in high school, while working on Steam and Culvert surveys, using the data to explain how nature is responding to human activity. He now works as a data analyst working with Environmental, Health and Safety data.
Wesley's talk will cover optimizing your SQL Queries by looking at the layers of processing. He will also cover how the SQL engine looks at your query so that you can better write queries and ultimately explain your results.
