ggsql: SQL For Visualization

  ggsql is a novel data visualization tool that integrates the Grammar of Graphics directly into SQL environments. Built by the creators of ggplot2, this system allows users to construct complex charts by adding declarative clauses like VISUALISE, DRAW, and SCALE to standard database queries. Unlike traditional tools that offer fixed chart types, ggsql employs a modular approach where independent components—such as layers, coordinates, and aesthetics can be combined to create custom visuals. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/84-database/18862-ggsql-sql-for-visualization-.html

Agentic Skills For The Database

Microsoft Fabric Machine Learning Tutorial - The Course

  Learn about Microsoft Fabric and its applications of ML through a project analyzing Titanic's passenger data. This tutorial is an end-to-end demonstration of Microsoft Fabric that guides learners from descriptive and diagnostic analytics to predictive analytics using the popular Kaggle Titanic dataset. The goal of the tutorial is to train a binary classification machine learning model capable of predicting whether an individual would have survived or perished on the Titanic, based on personal details like their age, gender, and ticket class. https://www.i-programmer.info/news/150-training-a-education/18831-microsoft-fabric-machine-learning-tutorial-the-course.html
