In this course you will learn all about the Structured Query Language ("SQL".) We will review the origins of the language and its conceptual foundations. But primarily, we will focus on learning all the standard SQL commands, their syntax, and how to use these commands to conduct analysis of the data within a relational database. Our scope includes not only the SELECT statement for retrieving data and creating analytical reports, but also includes the DDL ("Data Definition Language") and DML ("Data Manipulation Language") commands necessary to create and maintain database objects.

TOP REVIEWS FROM THE STRUCTURED QUERY LANGUAGE (SQL)
Good refresher for the basic stuff, explained it in new and helpful ways, and great introduction to some more advanced SQL
This course is easy to understand and implement! Thank instructor!
The instructor can present ideas and concepts in a clear way. Highly recommend this course to anyone who is interested in SQL!
A very good course going through all the basics for writing SQL commands. A great refresher for me as I have not done any SQL in about 2 years.
