| Various Chapters | Download the MySQL Database | |
Several chapters use MySQL and two tables: fec (Federal Election Commission data for political contributions) and mashups_sql (data from the Census and Bureal of Labor Statistics). The book shows you how to get MySQL, set up the tables, download the data, and load it into the tables. If you have MySQL, you can use the Restore command to create and load the data with this file. The READ ME file has details. Note that this is a subset of the data used in the book. The archive is 2.7 MB. |
