You Should Know:
1. Essential SQL Commands for Data Engineering
-- Create a table CREATE TABLE Employees ( EmployeeID INT PRIMARY KEY, FirstName VARCHAR(50), LastName VARCHAR(50), Department VARCHAR(50) ); -- Insert data INSERT INTO Employees VALUES (1, 'John', 'Doe', 'IT'); -- Query data SELECT FROM Employees WHERE Department = 'IT'; -- Join tables SELECT e.FirstName, e.LastName, d.DepartmentName FROM Employees e JOIN Departments d ON e.DepartmentID = d.DepartmentID;
2. Python for Data Processing
import pandas as pd
Read CSV
data = pd.read_csv('data.csv')
Data cleaning
data.dropna(inplace=True)
GroupBy operations
grouped_data = data.groupby('Category')['Sales'].sum()
Write to Parquet
data.to_parquet('output.parquet')
3. PySpark for Big Data
from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
Initialize Spark
spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("DataProcessing").getOrCreate()
Read data
df = spark.read.csv("data.csv", header=True)
Transformations
filtered_df = df.filter(df["Age"] > 30)
Write to Delta Lake
filtered_df.write.format("delta").save("/mnt/datalake/filtered_data")
4. Azure CLI for Data Engineering
Login to Azure az login Create a resource group az group create --name MyResourceGroup --location eastus Deploy Azure Data Factory az datafactory create --name MyADF --resource-group MyResourceGroup List storage accounts az storage account list --resource-group MyResourceGroup
5. Azure Data Factory Commands
Trigger a pipeline run az datafactory pipeline create-run --resource-group MyResourceGroup --factory-name MyADF --pipeline-name MyPipeline
6. Databricks CLI
List clusters
databricks clusters list
Run a notebook job
databricks jobs run-now --job-id 123 --notebook-params '{"param1": "value1"}'
What Undercode Say:
Becoming an Azure Data Engineer requires hands-on experience with SQL, Python, PySpark, and Azure services. Practice these commands and workflows to master data pipelines, ETL processes, and cloud deployments. Automate deployments using Azure CLI and PowerShell, and ensure security with Azure Key Vault.
Expected Output:
Successfully processed data using PySpark. Azure Data Factory pipeline executed. Delta Lake storage updated.
