Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to engineer healthcare data in a database format using SQL. We downloaded and installed SQLite, and wrote some SQL queries to get the data in a format that we want for modeling.

Next, in Chapter 5, Computing Foundations – Introduction to Python, we will continue our discussion of computing foundations with an exploration of the Python programming language.
