Practice pulling data from database

With the powers of csvkit, we don't need to download and set up fancy database management software like MS SQL Server, DB2, PgAdmin, or TablePlus to be able to access the data inside a SQL database. We can pull data directly from our command line using csvkit's sql2csv command.

In this practice, let's walk through pulling data step by step, by applying SQL manipulations to the table Spotify_Popularity which dwells inside a SQLite database called SpotifyDatabase and then saving the output of the SQL query to a local .csv file Spotify_Popularity_5Rows.csv.
