In the exercises, you'll work with a different database. It is a synthetic dataset of breast cancer patients, but it has the same table structure (or schema) as the in-class example. It is much larger than the in class example.

We'll first connect to the database:

```{r}
#| context: setup
library(duckdb)
library(DBI)
library(DiagrammeR)
con <- DBI::dbConnect(duckdb::duckdb(), 
                      "data/synthea-smaller_breast_cancer.db")
                      
```

## `person`

Let's get some details about the tables.

`DESCRIBE` the person table.

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
DESCRIBE -------;
```

Show the first 10 rows of `person`.

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
SELECT * FROM
  ---------
  LIMIT ----;
```


How many people (or rows) are in the person table?

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
SELECT COUNT(-) FROM person;
```

How many people are born after 1980?

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
#| eval: false
SELECT COUNT(person_id) FROM person
  WHERE year_of_birth -------;
```

How about how many people who have `gender_source_value` of 'M'? (Hint: remember to use *single* quotes for values, not *double* quotes):

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
#| eval: false
SELECT COUNT(person_id) FROM person
  WHERE gender_source_value = ----
```

Ok, we now have a better idea of what is in the `person` table. Let's take a deeper dive into the `concept` table.

## Look at the `concept` table

`DESCRIBE` the concept table.

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
DESCRIBE concept;
```

Select the distinct `domain_id`s from the `concept` table:

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
SELECT DISTINCT --------
  FROM -------;
```

Return the number of distinct `concept_name`s with `domain_id` equal to `'Procedure'`:

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
SELECT COUNT(concept_name) FROM concept
  WHERE -----------;
```

## Look at `procedure_occurrence`

Let's take a look at `procedure_occurrence` and see whether it uses `concept_id`s.

DESCRIBE `procedure_occurrence`:

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
DESCRIBE procedure_occurrence;
```

How many columns are `concept_id`s?

How many distinct `procedure_concept_id`s are there in this `procedure_occurrence` table?

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"
SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT procedure_concept_id)
  FROM procedure_occurrence;

```

## Explore another table

Describe another table in the Database. (You can use `SHOW TABLES` to show a list of tables).

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"

```

Return the first 10 rows of this table.

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"

```

Choose a column and try to write a `WHERE` statement to filter it. `COUNT` the number of rows returned.

```{sql}
#| connection: "con"

```

## Disconnect from the database

When you're done with your assignment, run the below code chunk to disconnect from the database.

```{r}
dbDisconnect(con)
```
