Databases are extraordinarily powerful in managing sets of data, but what do we do when management wants to add/remove/modify something that code does? This lab is aimed at students with a moderate understanding of data engineering, and Python who want to understand how to update schemas to handle new features. We will walk through the changing requirements of a bug tracking application and how to handle them.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this lab you will be able to:
- Evolve MySQL tables to handle schema changes
- Learn how to update data models to meet changing requirements
Intended Audience
This lab is intended for:
- Data engineers
- Anyone needing to perform a schema migration on a relational database
Prerequisites
You should possess:
- A moderate understanding of Python
- A basic understanding of data engineering concepts
