Importing Excel files to SQL server

In this I post I will try to demonstrate how we import a Excel files to SQL Server.We use the table we import to do some other SQL manipulations in the next topics.
We start by creating a database called 'Nobel_Laureates'. Open SQL Server Management Studio and create a new query window by clicking on 'New Query' menu or by hitting 'Ctrl + N' on your keyboard.
Lets create a database called 'Nobel_Laureates' using the following code.

CREATE DATABASE Nobel_Laureates
USE Nobel_Laureates

Now lets download the list of all the Nobel Laureates from online using this link, or by copying and pasting 'http://www.downloadexcelfiles.com/sites/default/files/docs/list_of_nobel_laureates-944j.xlsx' on your browser.
The link downloads an Excel file with a name 'list_of_nobel_laureates-944j.xlsx' on your default downloads folder.
Once the list_of_nobel_laureates-944j.xlsx file is downloaded, We import it to our Database as follows. Right click on the 'Nobel_Laureates' database.



 And go to 'task' and then click on  'import data'.The 'SQL Server Import and Export Wizard' dialogue box pops up.
Read the content and Click Next.


From the Data Source list Select Flat File Sources,click Browse button to select the nobel.csv file from your downloads folder. Leave everything else as it is and click Next.


Leave everything as it is and click Next.

 Leave everything as it is and click Next.


Leave everything as it is and click Next.


Leave everything as it is and click Next.


Leave everything as it is and click Finish.


Leave everything as it is and click Finish.

Now You have the 'nobel' table in your database.

Exploring Sentiment Analysis Using Support Vector Machines

Sentiment analysis, a powerful application of Natural Language Processing (NLP), involves extracting opinions, attitudes, and emotions from textual data. It enables businesses to make data-driven decisions by analyzing customer feedback, social media posts, and other text-based interactions. Modern sentiment analysis has evolved from simple rule-based methods to advanced machine learning and deep learning approaches that detect subtle nuances in language. As text communication continues to dominate digital interactions, sentiment analysis is an essential tool for understanding public opinion and driving actionable insights. The GoEmotions Dataset The GoEmotions dataset, developed by Google Research, is a benchmark in emotion recognition. It consists of over 67,000 text entries labeled across 27 emotion categories, such as joy, anger, admiration, and sadness. For practical applications, these emotions can be grouped into broader categories like positive and negati...

Autonomous Vehicles and AI Integration

Autonomous vehicles (AVs) represent one of the most transformative innovations of modern technology. These vehicles leverage artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to perform tasks traditionally carried out by human drivers, such as navigation, obstacle avoidance, and traffic management. The integration of AI into autonomous vehicle designs has enabled advancements in safety, efficiency, and convenience. This paper examines the current state of technologies involved in AV development, emphasizing the role of AI in supporting various vehicle functions and passenger needs. Additionally, it provides an overview of key organizations driving advancements in this field. AI Technologies Underpinning Autonomous Vehicle Development Artificial intelligence is central to the operation of autonomous vehicles, providing the computational foundation for critical capabilities such as perception, decision-making, and control. These capabilities are achieved through the integration of multiple t...

Predicting Algerian Forest Fires Using Regression Models

Forest fires are a growing global concern, causing environmental damage, threatening biodiversity, and endangering human lives. In Algeria, the Bejaia and Sidi-Bel Abbes regions face heightened risk due to rising temperatures, dry conditions, and strong winds. Predictive models can help forecast fire risks based on environmental factors, enabling early intervention strategies. This blog explores the use of linear regression to predict the Fire Weather Index (FWI) and logistic regression to predict fire occurrences. Using the Algerian Forest Fires Dataset, we analyze how temperature and wind speed influence fire risks and occurrences. Dataset Overview The Algerian Forest Fires Dataset includes data from two regions: Bejaia and Sidi-Bel Abbes. Key variables include: Temperature Relative Humidity (RH) Wind Speed (Ws) Fire Weather Index (FWI) Fire occurrence class ("fire" or "not fire") The da...
