Much of the world's data lives in databases. SQL (or Structured Query Language) is a powerful programming language that is used for communicating with and manipulating data in databases. A working knowledge of databases and SQL is a must for anyone who wants to start a career in Data Engineering, Data Warehousing, Data Analytics, Data Science or Business Intelligence. The purpose of this course is to help you learn and apply foundational and intermediate knowledge of the SQL language, and become familiar with many relational database (RDBMS) concepts along the way. You will start with performing basic Create, Read, Update and Delete (CRUD) operations using CREATE, SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE statements. You will then learn to filter, order, sort, and aggregate data. You will work with functions, perform sub-selects and nested queries, as well as JOIN data in multiple tables. You will also work with VIEWS, transactions and create stored procedures. The emphasis in this course is on hands-on, practical learning. As such, you will work with real database systems, use real tools, and real-world datasets. You will create a database instance in the cloud. Through a series of hands-on labs, you will practice building and running SQL queries. At the end of the course you will apply and demonstrate your skills with a final project. The SQL skills you learn in this course will be applicable to a variety of RDBMSes such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, IBM Db2, Oracle, SQL Server and others. No prior knowledge of databases, SQL or programming is required, however some basic data literacy is beneficial.

Though there are a few mistakes throughout the course, and the labs were not working for a part of the course, overall the course has good useful information.

i have completed the whole course but then also i am noy getting any certificate downloading option

THE COURSE WAS GREAT I LEARNED ALOT BUT IT CAN BE IMPROVED THROUGH GOING DEEPER TO EACH AND EVERY BASIC CONCEPT

This course is very useful and straightforward. Unfortunately, I couldn't download my Honor Certificate although I completed and passed all the courses including the extra to get the Honor

Empecé de 0 con SQL y este curso me enseñó desde lo básico hasta comandos un poco más complicados.

Hi Coursera,This is a good course, I got SQL Knowledge with practical excercises.Thanks Coursera.
MA
Very insightful for extending my knowledge. Thank you very much. Please fix the audio and subtitle synchonization in some videos.

This is the best SQL course I've ever taken! It has tons of hands-on labs, the theory is explained clearly, and you even get to work with IBM DB2.
LP
Amazing course. Abosolutelly recommended for those who begin in the study of databases. This course gives you an excellent introduction to SQL.
HH
loved the course. Had a few typos that need updated, but the material and how it was covered was really nice. some challenging learning curves in the labs. All in all I felt I learned a lot.
AA
Overall it's a very good course; I really like how hands-on it is built. There were a few confusing parts with small mistakes in some labs but otherwise it's a great course.

Login to Cloud was little challenging to practice syntax. It could be more grateful if it is accessible easily

The videos were incredibly basic and didn't require as much practice as expected with real data and querying capabilities overall. It gave you the answer directly instead of a process of elimination. I would have liked more exercises overall with each concept introduced.
This is not instructor taught its just a text to voice that i can get anywhere
Amazing course. Abosolutelly recommended for those who begin in the study of databases. This course gives you an excellent introduction to SQL.
Some of the labs were tedious to get started with because I had to re-create and import data again and again - it may have been my error but maybe a quick module showing how to set up and let these practice data sets persist in the very beginning would be good!
Difficult to install, dropping the course.
This course really an eye-opener for me regarding fundamental of SQL and hands-on problem solving and thought me about critical thinking. Really recommended for those to learn about SQL. Thanks so much!
Super easy to follow for a beginner. I tried three other courses where I just wasn't getting it I got to this one and knocked it out non stop. Thanks!!!

Hi Coursera,
This is a good course, I got SQL Knowledge with practical excercises.
Thanks Coursera.
Solid but I wish there was more interaction, not just a monologue. It teaches you the basics, but some more in-depth explanations and personalization would go a long way.
Excelente curso, lo mejor es que permite manipular una DB desde los aplicativos, que son manipulables y entendibles, lo cual lo hace demasiado interesante porque uno aprende mediante la práctica.
Great course for the beginners! Clear explanations and concrete examples, this course helped me to learn SQL from scratch for my daily work purposes.
Excellent course, good range of examples, enjoyed course; good grounding and development in the fundamentals of Querying databases
I have gotten a solid knowledge of SQL script writing with a great explanation and friendly lab assistant.

Best SQL course with a practical assignments to sharpen your skills and knowledge.
very practical and easy to follow
Great course
Wanted to give 4.5 stars but there was no option like this was an amazing course for any beginners. Anybody who want to use Sql in any form should take this course as a revision. There are two languages being used namely Mysql and H2 from IBM database. Course focuses on practical part rather than theory although some of the theory part is being taken care of.
