Why take this course?

Learn how to write effective and accurate SQL with this course!

You will learn how to read and write complex SQL queries in a relational database (SQL Server). The skills you will learn are also largely applicable to any other major database system, such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle Database, and much more.

Knowing how to write SQL is one of the fastest ways to reach your career goals. This is because SQL is consistently the most in-demand skills in the tech sector. SQL can seem simple at first but it can quickly become complicated. It is common for people to a write SQL query without realizing they are getting an incorrect result returned. This course is designed with a focus on accuracy and understanding. You will learn how to avoid the common mistakes people make when writing SQL. Not only that.. but you will get a visual guide to the SQL language by seeing how queries work step-by-step. This is a complete course which covers all the core skills you need to master the SQL language.

I believe that the best way to learn SQL is by writing lots of SQL. For that reason, this course includes over 80 coding challenges where you get to write SQL queries and create database objects. These challenges are based on real-world scenarios and are designed for optimal understanding.

In this course you will learn everything you need to master SQL! Including:

Get started with SQL Server and SSMS, two of the world's most popular SQL tools
How to install SQL Server on Windows and Mac-OS computers
- Note: that Mac users will need to use Azure Data Studio rather than SSMS
Learn how to do data analysis and data analytics using SQL. Including advanced query techniques
Start by learning the fundamentals of the relational model and SQL language
Analyzing data using aggregate functions with the GROUP BY command
Writing advanced queries with string and date functions
Learn to use logical operators to add logic flow to your SQL queries
Learn how to write both self-contained and correlated sub queries
Learn how to join data by using the different types of JOIN commands
Learn how to do more advanced joins such as joining more than two tables and joining on multiple columns
Learn to create tables and integrity constraints
How to update, insert and delete data
How to create indexes
How to make your queries run faster by making them SARGable
Learn to write advanced SQL such as stored procedures, window functions, and common table expressions
Bonus section on Database Design - includes data normalization up to and including Boyce-Codd Normal Form.
and much, much more!

This course is one that puts you in control. Where you get to write SQL throughout the course, instead of watching someone else code. Every section comes with fresh challenges, modeled after real-world tasks and situations.

This comprehensive course allows you to learn at your own pace through an interactive environment. You will start with the basics and soon find yourself writing advanced SQL queries.

Everything is practical enough until the indexing section until the database design. Please provide more visual examples. Because I think there are too much explanations without visual representations, leading to difficulties in understandings.

Cursus voldeed perfect aan de verwachtingen: introductie of opfrissing van SQL syntax, alsook hints naar goed database design.

Easy to follow with examples. Appreciate seeing what an error in the code would look like, versus correctly coding.

Great course to get the foundation down. The course was well designed and professional. I wish there were more challenging exercises and the full slides were provided. Overall, I look forward to an intermediate course from the instructor.

This course is presented with neat and clean visuals and lectures. The speed of the lectures and how it is presented allows me to grasp and understand all topics presented easily. I am really enjoying this course and am getting a very needed education. - Thank You for putting this course together!!!

that is a very well structured course, detailed, covers so many topics and methods, and has too many exercise challenges, and easy to follow along and understand. highly recommended.

The bite sized chunks are really helpful and easier to digest than an hour long lecture. Hoping I can absorb it all :)

I think the 'Database design' module could have some hands on SQL lectures and more practice tests. Feels a bit rushed. But overall a fantastic course. Hopefully Daniel will add more modules to this course so we can expand our knowledge on SQL.

Very informative with examples to illustrate key concepts and enhance one's learning experience. Thanks a lot.

Ik vind de structuur van eerst uitleg, de challenges en de oplossingen goed. Er zitten ook een hoop zaken tussen die ik voor mijn werk niet nodig heb, waardoor het voor mijn geval korter had gemogen. Ik kreeg ook het idee, dat er meerdere wegen naar Rome werden verteld.

I enjoyed this course. I think Daniel is a superb Database instructor. He makes learning the whys and hows of working with SQL easy and practical. And he helps reinforce what you learn with real-world [like] challenges to solve. I also loved the fact I could download resources. These gave a quick, easy way to access commands, practice exercises and solutions. Lastly, in my opinion, the course isn't too long. I am happy to recommend this course to others.

I think it would be one of the best courses for SQL Server on Udemy, Well-structured and organized challenges to level up students SQL skill.

So far OK but it is going over stuff I know but i expected to encounter that especially at the start of the course

Instructor speaks clearly and concisely, with an authoritative delivery of the material being covered. He explains theoretical concepts in a clear and cogent manner and also explains the various pitfalls beginners may encounter when writing SQL statements. After every few lessons, a series of challenges follows which are designed to test the student's ability to apply the concepts covered to problem solving, sometimes requiring a bit of out-of-the-box thinking in order to arrive at the solutions. Helpful hints accompany each challenge to suggest how the challenges may be solved. After each set of challenges, a follow up video explains in detail the solutions, often in multiple ways. Doing the many exercises spread throughout the course has proven invaluable to me for reinforcing my understanding of the material, or often exposing my lack of understanding thereof. :) The practical application of the theoretical and conceptual matter from each section of the course is afforded by the challenges, which should always be attempted. While it is most gratifying to get the correct solutions, it is more important to recognize mistakes and learn how to solve the challenges correctly, something that could not happen without the ample opportunities provided to work out solutions to real world problems. Although I have already successfully completed several SQL courses here on Udemy recently, I feel that I have already gained useful knowledge from this course by the second lesson and have strengthened my T-SQL programming skills substantially. I feel that this is one of the best courses in T-SQL that I have taken so far. Highly recommended instructor and course!
