Overview

Develop foundational knowledge in Structured Query Language (SQL) and database management systems; prepare yourself to construct SQL queries capable of gathering and comprehending data held in database repositories.

This foundational SQL learning program provides you with fundamental proficiencies needed to work with database components, including data tables, fields, and data rows; plus generate SQL statements to retrieve and commence working with that information. Our professional educator provides practical, activity-based direction to walk you through database architecture principles and improve your capability to construct genuine SQL queries.

You'll acquire skills in constructing SELECT queries to pick desired fields from source tables, implement filtering mechanisms using WHERE, AND, OR, IN, and NOT operations. You'll become familiar with pattern-matching filters along with number comparisons such as equivalent to, bigger than, smaller than, and similar operations, to get precisely the data you're searching for. Additionally, you'll discover how to merge information from distinct tables with INNER JOIN operations.

At completion of this hands-on foundation-level program, you'll be prepared to construct basic SQL queries intended for Microsoft SQL Server. You'll engage with the provided Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio interface to investigate databases and perform the SQL queries you develop. Your understanding of SQL Server will translate to alternative SQL systems (like Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, MySQL) with only minimal syntax variation.

What You'll Gain:

Work with information stored in databases; navigate tables, fields, records, and interconnections via the graphical interface of SQL Server Management Studio (the no-cost database tool from Microsoft)
Create SQL statements to get information from database tables
Primary SQL instructions such as SELECT and FROM
Limit outcomes applying WHERE, AND, OR, IN, and NOT
Pattern-based search techniques plus numerical operations such as equal to, exceeds, falls short of, and comparable comparisons
Merge information across several tables by applying INNER JOINs

Learn Database Essentials and Create Queries with SQL:

SQL comprises the most widely implemented programming language in data repositories internationally. SQL Level I covers foundational concepts of database architecture, Microsoft SQL Server platform, and the SQL programming language. Understand how database systems organize information in structured tables and master creating query statements to interpret that data.

Our qualified professional educator will lead you across many query types, including pattern-matching techniques and cross-table queries utilizing both INNER and OUTER joins. In the concluding session, practice using the acquired knowledge in practical exercises. Our reference materials include step-by-step directions for every task, enabling you to review concepts at your job or home.

By the completion of this program, you will develop the capability to accomplish the following:
