SKILL BENCHMARK
Python ETL Literacy (Beginner Level)
- 37m 30s
- 25 questions
The Python ETL Literacy benchmark will measure your ability to perform data operations using SQLAlchemy, data transformation using petl, and processing of HTTP requests. You will be evaluated on your ability to implement data operations and web techniques in Python applications. A learner who scores high on this benchmark demonstrates that they have the skills to develop interactive Python web applications that perform data operations and process HTTP requests.
Topics covered
- calculate aggregate statistics using group by
- combine data from multiple tables into one table
- create and use a SQL primary key constraint with autoincrement

- create tables using object relational mapping
- customize stored procedures using input arguments
- filter data using the order by, limit, and offset clauses
- filter data using two tables with a parent-child relationship
- identify the different forms of responses that may be contained within an HTTPX Response object
- implement split operations on data stored within petl data tables
- insert data into views
- limit the amount of time your app spends waiting to get served a response to an HTTP request using timeouts
