Hands-On PostgreSQL Project: Spatial Data Science

Geospatial data science is booming right now, and its appeal isn’t limited to just a few select fields. Its applications in the real world run the gamut, proving its utility in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, agriculture, urban planning, and tech.

In this hands-on interactive course, instructor Maggie Ma provides an overview of how to perform advanced Spatial SQL operations in a local database. Maggie shows you how to set up a local DBeaver pgAdmin 4 database, import public datasets, and run PostGIS SQL queries to execute spatial joins. This course is ideal for database administrators and data scientists looking to learn more about the value of geospatial data.
