Whether you want to become a Data Scientist, Data Analyst, or Data Engineer, knowing how to work with SQL (Structured Query Language) is an essential skill. SQL is a powerful language used for communicating with and extracting data from databases.
In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to retrieve, organize, and manage data using SQL, starting with the fundamentals and moving to more advanced techniques. You’ll also explore how to combine SQL with Python to work with databases and analyze data.
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Write SQL queries using SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE to retrieve and manage data.
- Filter and organize data using WHERE, COUNT, DISTINCT, LIMIT, ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and built-in database functions.
- Create and manage database tables using CREATE, ALTER, and DROP, and understand the differences between DDL and DML.
- Query complex datasets using subqueries, string patterns, ranges, and INNER and OUTER JOINs to work with data across multiple tables.
- Connect SQL with Python using Jupyter notebooks to access databases and integrate SQL into your data science workflow.
- Explore advanced database concepts such as Stored Procedures, Views, and ACID transactions.
Throughout the course, you will complete hands-on labs, work with real databases on the Cloud, and gain experience with real data science tools. In the final project, you’ll analyze multiple real-world datasets to demonstrate your ability to query and work with data.
