Description

Welcome! Learn to use Python for migrating your excel files in almost any format to a relational database.

The first section of this course is a basic introduction to
openpyxl: the ideas behind reading and writing data from and to Excel.
In the second section we will see how to read from multiple Excel
documents and save them to a database. The database could be any relational database, but for this section we will use SQLite, as it's fast to setup and easy to use.
The third section is a more advanced case, where we will learn how to deal with a more 'messy' Excel document and with a more complex database structure using a foreign key.
For the next sections, I like to hear from you what you would like! :-) At the moment I'm first thinking of some other kind of databases, like MySQL and PostgreSQL. But let me know
