Now let&amp;rsquo;s talk about SEGMENTATION!
Segmentation isn&amp;rsquo;t something I found as intuitive as basic SQL. You can generally figure out what a basic SQL statement is going to do before it runs. Have a look at my last SQL post for an example.</description></item><item><title>SQL part 1 of 4</title><link>/2017-05-15-sql-part-1-of-4/</link><pubDate>Mon, 15 May 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>/2017-05-15-sql-part-1-of-4/</guid><description>I had to recall what SQL(Structured Query Language) actually stood for because no one actually calls it &amp;lsquo;Structured Query Language&amp;rsquo;. People just refer to it as &amp;lsquo;see-kwel&amp;rsquo; or as my wife calls it a sequel to a movie and that Godfather 2 is the only acceptable kind.
If you have a lot of historic data that you need to access and interrogate regularly then SQL is probably the way to go.</description></item></channel></rss>
