Description
If you are serious about a career in IT, you need to know SQL. It’s the language used to retrieve data from databases. Knowledge of SQL is essential for anyone working with data: data analysts, business analysts, programmers, IT professionals, software testers, etc.
This 7-course track provides a complete and comprehensive SQL learning path. It includes SQL’s advanced features, which are rarely taught in online SQL courses. It focuses on MySQL, the version of SQL used in the world’s most popular open-source database system. And you don’t need any programming or IT background to take it.
You’ll start with the foundations of SQL: how to find and change data in a MySQL database and how to use common built-in functions. Next, you’ll move to an intermediate level and learn how to use MySQL to generate reports and statistics. Finally, you will discover advanced modern SQL features like window functions and recursive queries that are necessary for any SQL expert.
SQL from A to Z in MySQL is interactive. You practice by writing real SQL code and solving exercises directly in your web browser. Our online platform runs your code and verifies your solution. You don’t need to install any software on your computer.
This track uses MySQL 8. However, users working with MySQL 5 and earlier can also take it. The features that are only available in MySQL 8 are clearly marked.
