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)
In my opinion, this course is quite suitable for people who are just starting to learn SQL. Complete learning material content even to the history of the SQL language.
This is a good course but at the last peer review it can take awhile,but a great teacher.
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.
This was an excellent course that taught everything one needs to know about the use of SQL. The teachers was didactically excellent.
