 Amazon Relational Database Service (AWS RDS) makes it easy to set up, operate, and scale a relational database in the cloud. Instead of managing servers, patching OS, and handling backups manually, AWS RDS takes care of the heavy lifting so you can focus on building applications and data pipelines. In this blog, we’ll walk through how to create an AWS RDS instance , key configuration choices, and best practices you should follow in real-world projects. What is AWS RDS? AWS RDS is a managed database service that supports popular relational engines such as: Amazon Aurora (MySQL / PostgreSQL compatible) MySQL PostgreSQL MariaDB Oracle SQL Server With RDS, AWS manages: Database provisioning Automated backups Software patching High availability (Multi-AZ) Monitoring and scaling Prerequisites Before creating an RDS instance, make sure you have: An active AWS account Proper IAM permissions (RDS, EC2, VPC) A basic understanding of: ...

Accenture Sees Demand in Big Data Analytics

-
Accenture Plc., which has 40% of its global big data analytics team based in India, plans to tap the country’s high-end analytics market in anticipation of an increase in demand driven by the government’s Digital India programme. 

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government’s Digital India initiative is aimed at delivering government services electronically in urban and rural areas, cutting out human intervention and closing the gap between digital haves and have-nots. 

It will act as an umbrella plan to integrate and synchronize all digital initiatives including the national broadband plan and the domestic manufacturing policy.


“Big data analytics will play a major role in the whole digital disruption that is happening in India today,” said Arnab Chakraborty, managing director for advanced analytics at Accenture Digital. 

“Mobility has leapfrogged in India and the whole ‘Make in India initiative’ has caught up strongly in the last six to eight months with the new leadership coming in.” Globally, Accenture is collaborating with many state governments and agencies in the areas of healthcare, education, electricity discussions around smart cities and combating crime. 

In the UK, for instance, Accenture is looking at identifying gang behaviour. In Singapore, it is studying crowd behaviour. In India, said Chakraborty, Accenture is working with a state government to improve childcare and safety, with state electricity boards on smart grids as well as with police forces in the states of Uttar Pradesh and Bihar to provide analytics to predict crime.


“We are trying to do facial recognition to understand the mood of the crowd... in the policing space in India, we are leveraging a lot of these things that we are doing in other countries,” said Michael Svilar, managing director and global lead for advanced analytics at Accenture Digital. 

He added that the company does “not want to get to the point where we are arresting people before they commit a crime, but the idea of using analytics is to predict likely behaviour that is behind crime that occurs”. 

According to Chakraborty, a lot of demand for high-end analytics is also coming from the telecom sector, which is looking at new revenue streams using analytics by becoming the provider of Internet of Things (IoT) services to other sectors, and resources including mining, oil and gas, utilities, which recently adopted analytics, but are now deploying sensors to harness the power of artificial intelligence.

 In the world of data science, automation, and general programming, working with files is unavoidable. Whether you’re dealing with CSV reports, JSON APIs, Excel sheets, or text logs, Python provides rich and easy-to-use libraries for reading different file formats. In this guide, we’ll explore how to read different files in Python , with code examples and best practices. 1. Reading Text Files ( .txt ) Text files are the simplest form of files. Python’s built-in open() function handles them effortlessly. Example: # Open and read a text file with open ( "sample.txt" , "r" ) as file: content = file.read() print (content) Explanation: "r" mode means read . with open() automatically closes the file when done. Best Practice: Always use with to handle files to avoid memory leaks. 2. Reading CSV Files ( .csv ) CSV files are widely used for storing tabular data. Python has a built-in csv module and a powerful pandas library. Using cs...

SQL Query: 3 Methods for Calculating Cumulative SUM

-
Image
SQL provides various constructs for calculating cumulative sums, offering flexibility and efficiency in data analysis. In this article, we explore three distinct SQL queries that facilitate the computation of cumulative sums. Each query leverages different SQL constructs to achieve the desired outcome, catering to diverse analytical needs and preferences. Using Window Functions (e.g., PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle) SELECT id, value, SUM(value) OVER (ORDER BY id) AS cumulative_sum  FROM your_table; This query uses the SUM() window function with the OVER clause to calculate the cumulative sum of the value column ordered by the id column. Using Subqueries (e.g., MySQL, SQLite): SELECT t1.id, t1.value, SUM(t2.value) AS cumulative_sum FROM your_table t1 JOIN your_table t2 ON t1.id >= t2.id GROUP BY t1.id, t1.value ORDER BY t1.id; This query uses a self-join to calculate the cumulative sum. It joins the table with itself, matching rows where the id in the first table is greater than...
