Description

If you want to learn how to gain insights from data but are too intimidated by databases to know where to start, then this course is for you. This course is a gentle but comprehensive introduction to MySQL, one of the most highly in-demand skills in the business sector today.

Learn how to use SQL quickly and effectively with this course!

You’ll learn how to read and write complex queries to a database using one of the most in demand skills – PostgreSQL. These skills are also applicable to any other major SQL database, such as MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, Amazon Redshift, Oracle, and much more.

In this course, you will:

   Learn the ins and outs of SQL syntax
   Generate reports using sales and user data
   Analyze data using Aggregate Functions
   Run complex queries using MySQL logical operators and string functions
   Write all the common SQL joins
   Work with large datasets containing thousands of entries
   Design and implement complex database schemas
   Write Javascript code to generate fake data sets
   Get started with PostgreSQL and PgAdmin , two of the world’s most popular SQL tools
   Learn the basics of SQL syntax
   And more!

This is course that put’s you in control, having you set up and restore databases right at the start of the course, instead of watching someone else code. Every section comes with fresh challenge questions and tasks, modeled after real world tasks and situations.

Unsure about the difference between SQL and MySQL? MySQL is the most popular open source SQL database out there, so it’s a great choice to begin your learning journey. We’ll talk a lot more about the difference between SQL and MySQL in the course, but 95% of what you learn about MySQL in this course will apply to other databases such as Postgres, Oracle, and Microsoft SQL Server.

Worried that you have no previous experience?

Not an issue. We will start from the very basics and gradually teach you everything you need to know. Step by step. With no steps skipped.

FAQs:

Do I need to purchase any software to take this course? Nope! Everything we use to do data analysis with MySQL is completely free. We’ll walk you through the installation and set-up of any software we’ll be using.
