Dataset: cloud-training-demos.fintech

This dataset, hosted on BigQuery, is designed for financial technology (fintech) training and analysis. It comprises six interconnected tables, each providing detailed insights into various aspects of customer loans, loan purposes, and regional distributions. The dataset is ideal for practicing SQL queries, building data models, and conducting financial analytics.

Tables:

1. customer:
   Contains records of individual customers, including demographic details and unique customer IDs. This table serves as a primary reference for analyzing customer behavior and loan distribution.

2. loan:
   Includes detailed information about each loan issued, such as the loan amount, interest rate, and tenure. The table is crucial for analyzing lending patterns and financial outcomes.

3. loan_count_by_year:
   Provides aggregated loan data by year, offering insights into yearly lending trends. This table helps in understanding the temporal dynamics of loan issuance.

4. loan_purposes:
