I'm having trouble opening the SQL. When I downloaded from the link, I get a zip file, and when I click on the zip file more zip files open, and when I click on any of those more zip files open, etc... Am I supposed to be able to load the data without touching the original zip file?

jmbejara commented 6 years ago

I can't quite figure out what's going wrong. When I download from the link, I get a zip file. Inside the zip file is the file database.sqlite. You should need to unzip the file before you can use it.

Maybe you could provide a screenshot of the issue? Or, you could stop by office hours tomorrow and Philip could take a look.

I'll stop by Philip's office hours tomorrow, but these are some screenshots of the new zip files that keep opening: screen shot 2018-04-22 at 6 36 15 pm screen shot 2018-04-22 at 6 36 42 pm screen shot 2018-04-22 at 6 37 14 pm

OK. Are you downloading from this link? https://www.kaggle.com/nolanbconaway/pitchfork-data/downloads/database.sqlite/1

isabelalmazan commented 6 years ago

Yes. Same issue.

isabelalmazan commented 6 years ago

I was thinking of trying to download to zip file on another computer tomorrow and send myself just the file in it, in case my computer is the problem. But I've already completed all of the other exercises and had no problem with any other zip file but this one.

Either way, I will go see Philip tomorrow to see if he can help in person.

OK. Sounds good. Good luck!
