Working with Pandas DataFrames: Exception Handling in convert_objects In this article, we will delve into the world of pandas DataFrames and explore how to handle exceptions when working with numeric conversions. Specifically, we will focus on using the difference method to filter out columns from a list and then use the convert_objects function to convert non-numeric columns to numeric values. Introduction Pandas is a powerful library in Python for data manipulation and analysis.

Rolling Sum Windowed for Every ID Individually In this post, we will explore how to calculate a rolling sum window for every unique ID in a dataset individually. This is particularly useful when working with time-series data where each row represents a single observation at a specific point in time. We’ll use Python and the popular pandas library to achieve this. Introduction to Rolling Sums A rolling sum is a mathematical operation that calculates the sum of a specified number of past observations for a given window size.

The provided query already seems optimized, considering the use of a CTE to improve performance on JSON data. However, there are still some potential improvements that can be explored. Here’s an updated version of your query: WITH cf as ( SELECT cfiles.property_values::jsonb AS prop_vals, users.email, cfiles.name AS cfile_name, cfiles.id AS cfile_id FROM cfiles LEFT JOIN user_permissions ON (user_permissions.cfile_id = cfiles.id) LEFT JOIN users on users.id = user_permissions.user_id ORDER BY email NULLS LAST LIMIT 20 ) SELECT cf.
