Concept
Since Seattle has a strong historical conection to grunge music and the band Nirvana; I wanted to see the check out preformance and ativity of grunge bands related to Nirvana. This data set focuses on the year 2006 and includes bands such as, Nirvana, The Foo Fighters, Sunny Day Real Estate and Hole.

Query
mySQL query : SELECT bibNumber, title, SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 1) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-1', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 2) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-2', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 3) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-3', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 4) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-4', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 5) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-5', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 6) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-6', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 7) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-7', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 8) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-8', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 9) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-9', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 10) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-10', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 11) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-11', SUM(CASE WHEN (YEAR(cout) = 2006 AND MONTH(cout) = 12) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) AS '2006-12' FROM spl_2016.inraw WHERE bibNumber = '1254271' OR bibNumber = '1318184' OR bibNumber = '596977' OR bibNumber = '1633444' OR bibNumber = '2040694' OR bibNumber = '1845161' OR bibNumber = '1849805' OR bibNUmber = '1847206' OR bibNUmber = '1839774' AND (itemType LIKE '%CD%') GROUP BY bibNumber , title, itemType

Preliminary sketches
This project relied on Rodger Luo's example code for this assignment.




Process
Work-in-progress. The inital mapping of the data in grey scale.
