# Intro To Databases with SQLite

This repository host the material connected to a training developed by **Dave Elsmore** ([Edina](https://edina.ac.uk/)) for CDCS. 

Managing data has become increasingly important in the Humanities and Social Sciences. 

Databases provide a powerful tool to allow for the storage, structuring and analysis of large amounts of data. In this workshop we will use SQLite, a flexible open-source database, to learn some of the basic concepts of database design and usage. 

In this In this tutorial you can learn: Basic database design, Importing and exporting data, Querying datasets, Analysing your data.

## How to use this repository

Follow along the tutorial using the ['tutorial.md'](https://github.com/DCS-training/IntroToDatabases/blob/main/Tutorial.md) file. You will also need to install **DBrowser for SQLite** to create and manage the databases.

## Software Installation

**DB Browser for SQLite**  is a high quality, visual, open source tool to create, design, and edit database files compatible with SQLite. It can be installed on both Windows and on Mac operating systems.

### Installing DB Browser for SQLite

The software can be downloaded from the  [DB Browser](http://sqlitebrowser.org/dl/)  site You can select the specific version you require for your operating system. There are downloads for Windows and Mac users. For various Linux distributions there are detailed instructions at the bottom of the page.

#### Installing on Windows.

For a current Windows environment the 64-bit windows download will be most appropriate.

The download is a windows executable file which you can run by double clicking it. It opens an installation wizard. You can default all of the options in the wizard. You will require admin permissions on the PC/Laptop you install on. By default the application is launched automatically when the installation is complete. It does not create an icon on the desktop. To explicitly launch the application after installing it, use the windows button (bottom left of screen) and type in ‘DB Browser’ in the search bar and selecting the application when it appears.

#### Installing on MacOS X
