In this course, you'll get an in-depth look at the SQL SELECT statement and its main clauses. The course focuses on big data SQL engines Apache Hive and Apache Impala, but most of the information is applicable to SQL with traditional RDBMs as well; the instructor explicitly addresses differences for MySQL and PostgreSQL.

TOP REVIEWS FROM ANALYZING BIG DATA WITH SQL
How amazing the course was! From the video lectures, the reading materials, to the practical exercises and the teachers as well, everything was fantastic in this course. Highly recommended!
A great course to go over the basic SQL. However, this course doesn't go cover Subquery concept :(
I have took many SQL courses but this is one of the best ,I highly recommend this course to beginners, It takes you from zero to hero.
Great overview of SQL. Some decent hands-on and well thought-of quiz questions. Recommended even for people who might know SQL somewhat, but never had a structured overview of it.
