Why take this course?

Do you already know the basics of SQL, but sometimes get frustrated when you encounter situations where the basics just aren't enough?

Are you a junior analyst who wants to level up to advanced SQL so you can take the next step in your career?

Or maybe you're a data scientist who knows enough SQL to get by, but want to take your skills further so you can spend less time wrangling data and more time building models.

If any of these sound like your situation, then you're in the right place. This course on advanced SQL for data analysis  has everything that isn't covered in introductory SQL courses.

The curriculum goes DEEP, spanning all the advanced techniques you'll ever need to wrangle and analyze data in the fastest and most efficient way possible.

And these concepts aren't presented in isolation; everything is taught in the context of real-world analytics scenarios, meaning you'll be ready to apply these techniques on the job from day one.


Here's a look at just some of the things you'll get out of this course:

  • Make the leap to Senior Analyst by mastering advanced data wrangling techniques with SQL

  • Become the resident SQL expert on your team

  • Perform nuanced analysis of large datasets with Window Functions

  • Use subqueries, CTEs and temporary tables to handle complex, multi-stage queries and data transformations

  • Write efficient, optimized SQL

  • Leverage indexes to speed up your SQL queries

  • Supercharge your SQL knowledge with procedural programming techniques like variables and IF statements

  • Program database objects like user defined functions and stored procedures that will make life easier for you AND your teammates

  • Master useful tips and tricks not found in most database courses, like Dynamic SQL

  • Gain an intuition for what technique to apply and when

  • Train your brain with tons of hands-on exercises that reflect real-world business scenarios


What makes this course different

There are three things that really set this course apart.

First is its scope. We'll dig deep into the advanced toolbox that SQL has to offer, uncovering techniques to solve problems that leave even senior analysts scratching their heads.

Second is a relentless focus on that practical, real-world applications. Techniques are taught not as abstract concepts, but rather as solutions to common data wrangling and analytics problems. And whenever possible, these techniques are presented, not in isolation, but in combination with other things that have already been covered. This "spiral" approach reinforces concepts you've learned so they stay with you long after taking the course.

Finally, and most importantly, the course provides a treasure trove of coding exercises that give you ample opportunity for hands-on practice. And these exercises are distributed throughout the course - not clustered together after hours of videos. This means you'll have an opportunity to practice every concept you learn, right after you learn it.

So if you want to go from SQL apprentice to SQL master, enroll today. I look forward to seeing you in the course.

Such an amazing class! I'll never know the capability of MSSQL without this. Can't wait to try the techniques I've learned in my daily work!

all the advanced concepts that I was looking for were covered in this course and the instructor has very well explained each and every topic. The exercise given after each concept ensured that I was able to understand the concept.

This was an incredible course! I am so grateful and appreciative of what I have learned. It is clear the instructor went through great lengths to prepare and deliver the content in a very professional manner. Clear instructions, clear examples, and honest assessments offered for the more 'seemingly random' logic. I know I will be referencing this material as I apply what I have learned in future work. I HIGHLY recommend this course for anyone with intermediate SQL skills who desire to take it to the Next Level. Thank you Travis, for creating this course!!

Corso ben strutturato e di ottima qualità per chi volesse potenziare le sue abilità con SQL. Il professore è preparato sull'argomento in modo perfetto e spiega con semplicità l'argomento!

He knows how to breakdown code to my exact level of understanding. I can't believe I'm actually understanding these concepts and applying them to a bunch of other ones within the same query without looking at his screen and copying it.

Teaching style is excellent, thanks for helping me understand without the need to type questions. I have re-learned basic but important concepts, thanks a lot for the energy you put into the tutorials.

Good course. Advanced techniques. Was slightly not sure about naming conventions e.g. why .dbo has to be in the table name

Great course! Really appreciated the structure and progression of content. It really helped to better understand the use case of each topic. I really recommend this course to further expand your SQL skills for data analysis. It would be great to see an addition to cover VIEWS and maybe have a different course focused on creation of databases with perhaps the same topics or new ones rather than analytics.

This course was great and I could improve my understanding of SQL. Although some examples may seem simple to some people (to me they were very nice already), the main objective is the fundamentals that are taught while practicing with them. I recommend this course strongly!

The course has helped understand better the use of SQL. I can understand relationships between tables better and have been able to use the functions of the course at work.

I learn something new. However, it would be nice if the instructor could list out the different ways we can achieve the same results and how they compare with one another in different situation. eg: instead of correlated subquery, you could use join, group by and distinct; instead of using NOT EXISTS keyword and correlated subquery you can use a subquery that return a list and use NOT IN keyword, instead of XML path you could use group by with STRING_AGG function. Since this is a more advanced course, I expect more details.

I think this course is good for beginners and intermediaries as well. I am not a beginner but from last 3 years was not getting a chance to work on SQL so decided to take this course for revisiting the SQL concepts. And so far fantastic experience. Thank you

I've been a huge fan of his teaching right from his previous course on SQL. Well explained course and great instructor! I would recommend this course to any complete beginner like me.

I was hoping more advanced techniques for performance, and more advanced techniques to clean data, and transform data.
