Pandas SQL Query: Extract first 7 records from employees file

Pandas HR database Queries: Exercise-3 with Solution

Write a Pandas program to extract first 7 records from employees file.

EMPLOYEES.csv

Sample Solution :

Python Code :

import pandas as pd
employees = pd.read_csv(r"EMPLOYEES.csv")
departments = pd.read_csv(r"DEPARTMENTS.csv")
job_history = pd.read_csv(r"JOB_HISTORY.csv")
jobs = pd.read_csv(r"JOBS.csv")
countries = pd.read_csv(r"COUNTRIES.csv")
regions = pd.read_csv(r"REGIONS.csv")
locations = pd.read_csv(r"LOCATIONS.csv")
print("First 7 records from employees file:")
print(employees.head(7))

Sample Output:

First 7 records from employees file:
   employ_id first_name      ...      manager_id department_id
0        100     Steven      ...             NaN          90.0
1        101      Neena      ...           100.0          90.0
2        102        Lex      ...           100.0          90.0
3        103  Alexander      ...           102.0          60.0
4        104      Bruce      ...           103.0          60.0
5        105      David      ...           103.0          60.0
6        106      Valli      ...           103.0          60.0

Python: Tips of the Day

Find current directory and file's directory:

To get the full path to the directory a Python file is contained in, write this in that file:

import os 
dir_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.realpath(__file__))

(Note that the incantation above won't work if you've already used os.chdir() to change your current working directory, since the value of the __file__ constant is relative to the current working directory and is not changed by an os.chdir() call.)

To get the current working directory use

import os
cwd = os.getcwd()

Documentation references for the modules, constants and functions used above:

  • The os and os.path modules.
  • The __file__ constant
  • os.path.realpath(path) (returns "the canonical path of the specified filename, eliminating any symbolic links encountered in the path")
  • os.path.dirname(path) (returns "the directory name of pathname path")
  • os.getcwd() (returns "a string representing the current working directory")
  • os.chdir(path) ("change the current working directory to path")
