# WorldBank-Global-Inflation-Data
This repository contains processed [data](data) versions of the World Bank's ["_A Global Database of Inflation_"](https://www.worldbank.org/en/research/brief/inflation-database) inflation data. The information has been structured and cleaned for enhanced usability in AI, machine learning, and data science applications. No scripts or code are included in this repository; only the processed datasets are provided.
To access and use the data files in this repository:
1. **Clone the repository**:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/your-username/WorldBank-Global-Inflation-Data.git
```
2. **Navigate to the directory**:
```bash
cd WorldBank-Global-Inflation-Data
```
## Explore the SQLite Database
Besides the .csv content found in the [data](data) directory, the data is also provided in SQLite format as `world_bank_inflation.db` for efficient querying and analysis. Below are some nifty functions to use for some data surfing.
### Open the Database (Command Line):
Use the SQLite command-line interface or any SQLite-compatible tool:
```bash
sqlite3 world_bank_inflation.db
```
### List Available Tables (SQL Queries):
```sql
.tables
```
### Retrieve all countries present for a specific table (SQL Queries):
```sql
SELECT DISTINCT country_code, country FROM producer_price_index_quarterly_data;
```
Replace `producer_price_index_quarterly_data` and `country_code, country` with the relevant table and column names for your analysis.
### Retrieve data from a specific country (SQL Queries):
```sql
SELECT * FROM headline_cpi_monthly_data WHERE country_code = 'USA';
```
### Python Example:
Use SQLite in Python with the `sqlite3` library:
```python
import sqlite3
# Connect to the database
conn = sqlite3.connect('world_bank_inflation.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
# Execute a query
cursor.execute("SELECT * FROM headline_cpi_monthly_data WHERE country_code = 'USA'")
rows = cursor.fetchall()
# Close the connection
conn.close()
```
