Introduction to Databases for Back-End Development

Back-end developers write applications that end-users use to interact with databases. Some common tasks that end-users carry out using these applications include storing, searching, extracting and manipulating data. Therefore, it’s essential that all back-end developers possess strong knowledge and experience with how databases work. In this course, you’ll receive an introduction to databases and explore the different ways in which they can be used to store and manage data. You’ll also learn to distinguish between different types of database management systems. You’ll then practice basic creation and data selection tasks with the use of Structured Query Language (SQL) commands. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to: - Demonstrate a working knowledge of the concepts and principles that underpin how databases work - Identify and explain the different types of core technology and management systems used in databases - Identify and interpret basic SQL statements and commands - Manipulate records in a database with the use of SQL statements and commands - Outline alternatives to SQL - and plan and design a simple relational database system You’ll also gain experience with the following: - Fundamental concepts in database - Basic MySQL syntax and commands - Database management systems - Relational databases

This cours is overall a good course to resfresh or learn the basis of SQL, but the tests could be better, especially the last one (it has a lot of formatting problems).

I thought the topics of database were covered well. I also like being able to practice the SQL so often. I learned I really like SQL and database concepts.

It was a informative and precise course with sufficient labs to get hands on. I found Normalization is pretty tricky to implement. More detailed readings shall help me improve and gain confidence.

It is fairly good course due to material of course designed for beginner, and certainly understandable. It is first step to acquient us before go to full back-end development.

T​hey do not teach Databases and SQL anywhere like here. Meta sure does Software Engineering very differently. If you want to be the best, I guess you ought to learn from the best.

Perfect course for those who want to learn about databases. Straight to the point and great quizzes alongside with labs. Last quiz had some problems with the first 10 SQL questions.
