I am trying to use Google TCGA data portal since it has information about patient data along with expression values .But I guess it uses SQL to to put query and get the data .I have very less knowledge about sql can anyone check the link and let me know how can i pull down data from it .

Here is the link

I think google just reuse data from other sources. Maybe you could find different methods of access or downloading the data if you check the places where the data comes from.

How's the R tag relevant here? Also, SQL is quite interesting to learn as a language and a way of thinking, so I think this is a good opportunity for you to start :)

sorry for the tag I dont know nothing else was coming but I used their API which I can use it in R but that is not giving me much info except the RPKM values etc, and yes I have started learning basic SQL hope I can learn enough to pull down data.
