SQL for Data Analysis

£ 479.00

In this course, you’ll learn the essentials of Structured Query Language (SQL), a programming language used to extract and organise data stored in relational databases.

This course is for those who are interested in learning the SQL programming language to efficiently access the data you wish to analyse.

The course includes a series of video lectures combined with a variety of conceptual and hands-on activities to help you develop the skills to identify the critical characteristics of databases and work with
relational databases.

You’ll learn about database design and modelling essentials. Here you’ll learn about the Database Management System, which is the system in charge of the control, storage, organisation, and retrieval of data through end-user applications.

You’ll then explore the most common features of the SQL programming language using Microsoft’s SQL Server. During the final part of the course, we’ll focus on MySQL, an open-source relational database management system. In this module, you’ll learn the fundamentals of data management using MySQL.

The course is divided into three modules and includes knowledge tests at the end of each section.

Module 1: Generic Database Fundamentals
  • Architecture and Normalisation Concepts;
  • Concepts and Conceptual Design
Module 2: Introduction to SQL
  • Managing Table Design, Multiple Tables and Advanced Queries;
