Pandas for more complex querying

Here, you'll become more familiar with the pandas function read_sql_query() by using it to execute a more complex query: a SELECT statement followed by both a WHERE clause AND an ORDER BY clause.

You'll build a DataFrame that contains the rows of the Employee table for which the EmployeeId is greater than or equal to 6 and you'll order these entries by BirthDate.

  • Using the function create_engine(), create an engine for the SQLite database Chinook.sqlite and assign it to the variable engine.
  • Use the pandas function read_sql_query() to assign to the variable df the DataFrame of results from the following query: select all records from the Employee table where the EmployeeId is greater than or equal to 6 and ordered by BirthDate (make sure to use WHERE and ORDER BY in this precise order).
