few questions (I am a beginner)

[eeps24]

I am very new to python and having a hard time understanding some basic things. Can anyone please help me with the following? Can you please answer my questions in the same format?
Thank you

1. Am I correct in saying python is a multi purpose language in that it can help build websites, app development and query databases?
2. Can python be used to query a SQL database? How about a NoSQL database?
3. Do I need to have very good math/statistical background in order to code
with python?
4. Whats the name of the tool in which I would create my python code? Example, I would use TOAD/Oracle developer to query a Oracle database. What would I use for python?

I am mostly interested in learning python to query databases/build reports.

1. Am I correct in saying python is a multi purpose language in that it can help build websites, app development and query databases?

you can use python for all of the above and many more...

2. Can python be used to query a SQL database? How about a NoSQL database?

yes on both counts. Popular database providers have python bindings/connectors already developed. Do you have specific SQL/No-SQL DB in mind?

3. Do I need to have very good math/statistical background in order to code with python?

My personal opinion is that math skills/math mindset is always an advantage in life :-) Even more in fileds like programming/computer science, etc. At the same time python is considered very beginner-friendly and is often selected as language of choice for introduction to programming

4. Whats the name of the tool in which I would create my python code? Example, I would use TOAD/Oracle developer to query a Oracle database. What would I use for python?

You can use even simplest textprocessing application like Notepad to write code. Of course full-fledged IDE is better and comes with many useful features. List of python IDEs:

My personal preference is VSCode for a full IDE

Definitely give it a try. Even if you decide to expand further and take on new language(s) in the future

For SQL, Microsoft SQL and Oracle.
For NoSql, any flavor really but I guess if I had to pick how about mongoDB.

Of course math is always an advantage, but my question is, do I "need" to have these advance math skills to code?

Thank you for your reply, huge help.

All of the mentioned DBs have [own specific] python bindings available. And for SQL-kind you can also use sqlalchemy (I didn't mention it, but it allows to connect to different DB engines)

You definitely don't need advance math skills. That's why I said math skills are advantage (i.e. not requirement)
