After downloading data. Split the data into Covid Deaths and Covid Vaccinations. This helps us ease the sql query writing.

select population from dbo.coviddeath
select population from dbo.covidvacination
-- select only important info from coviddeath table --
select location, date, total_cases, new_cases,total_deaths, population
from dbo.coviddeath
order by 1,2
-- Deathpercentage --
select
location,
date,
total_cases,
total_deaths,
population ,
(total_deaths/total_cases)*100 as deathpercentage
from dbo.coviddeath
order by 1,2
-- Death vs Population percentage --
select
location,
date,
total_cases,
total_deaths,
population,
(total_deaths/population)*100 as deathpercentagepopulation
from dbo.coviddeath
order by 1,2
-- Total Infections, Total Deaths, Infection Rate, Death Rate vs Population
select
location,
population,
max(total_cases) as highestinfectioncount,
max(total_deaths) as highestdeathcount,
max((total_cases/population))*100 as casespercentagepopulation,
max((total_deaths/population))*100 as deathspercentagepopulation
from dbo.coviddeath where continent is not null
group by location, population
order by 3 desc
Sorted by total Infection
Sorted by Infection Rate
--Death On Daily Basis by Coutry--
select
location,
date,
sum(new_cases) as total_cases,
sum(new_deaths) as Totatdeaths,
sum(new_deaths)/sum(new_cases)*100 as deathpercentage
from dbo.coviddeath
where continent is not null and new_cases!=0
group by location,date
order by 1,2 asc
-- Create a View to utilise view in visualisation --
CREATE VIEW dbo.coviddatabylocationanddate
AS
select
location,
date,
sum(new_cases) as total_cases,
sum(new_deaths) as Totatdeaths,
sum(new_deaths)/sum(new_cases)*100 as deathpercentage
from dbo.coviddeath
where continent is not null and new_cases!=0
group by location,date
select * from dbo.coviddeathbylocationanddate order by 1,2 asc

-- results same as above image --
-- Join Covid Death and Covid Vaccination Tables --
select *
from coviddeath cd
join covidvacination cv
on cd.date=cv.date and cd.location=cv.location
order by 3, 4
-- Create View for Covid Vaccination by Location and date --
CREATE VIEW dbo.covidvacinationbylocationanddate
AS
select
cd.continent,
cd.location,
cd.date,
cd.population,
cv.new_vaccinations ,
sum(cv.new_vaccinations)
over
(partition by cd.location order by cd.location,cd.date)
as vacinationcount,
sum(cv.new_vaccinations)
over
(partition by cd.location order by cd.location,cd.date)/cd.population*100
as vacinationpercentage
from coviddeath cd
join covidvaccination cv
on cd.date=cv.date and cd.location=cv.location
where cd.continent is not null

------------------------------------------------------------
select * from dbo.covidvaccinationbylocationanddate

-- Results in incremental increase in vaccination count
