About This Course

Learn basic SQL so you can communicate better with DBAs and Developers, and increase your value as a team member.

This course teaches the principles of Relational Databases and the SQL language. It is intended for "Analysts". Knowledge of Relational Databases and SQL is one of the most valued technical skills an analyst can have. It will make you a more valued member of any team.

This course is suitable for a novice. I start by explaining how Relational Databases relate to your experience in the everyday world. When you have completed the course and exercises you will have created a database containing several related tables, updated the data they contain and written many queries which extract and summarise that data.

I teach using a mixture of lectures, demonstrations and exercises. You will learn by seeing, hearing and doing. With each step you build your knowledge using what you have learned already. An on-line course sets you free to work at your own pace and to review and revisit earlier material, even after you have completed the course.

  • By the end of the course you will have created databases, containing several tables and associated objects.

  • You will have added, updated and deleted data in those tables.

  • You will have created report queries which retrieve and manipulate that data.

Very slow moving and the example is entirely too simple for what a database is.

A good foundation course for SQL. Though there are sections like DCL could have been elaborated more with demonstrations Eg. Create Statement, backup and restore functions.
Over all at a minimal cost one gains good amount of querying knowledge through this course.
