+===== Lab 6. Relational Databases. MySQL-Python. Charts =====
+In this lab, we are introduced to more advanced SQL (functions, joins, subqueries) that are commonly used when querying databases. Then, we will connect to the database and run queries using Python and we will experiment with a plotting library to visualize the results.

 RIGHT JOIN is used to return rows from both tables based on the matching condition. The difference from INNER JOIN is that ALL the rows from the second table will be returned and if for some rows there is no matching record on the first table, the result for that column(s) will be NULL.

 FULL JOIN combines LEFT JOIN and RIGHT JOIN. Where rows in the tables do not match, the result set will have NULL values for every column of the table that lacks a matching row.

+**CROSS JOIN**
 CROSS JOIN is a simplest form of JOIN which matches each row from one table to all rows of another table (similar to cartesian product in set theory). The result of a CROSS JOIN can be filtered by using a WHERE clause which may then produce the equivalent of an INNER JOIN.
