    Much of the world's data lives in databases. SQL (or Structured Query Language) is a powerful programming language that is used for
    communicating with and manipulating data in databases. A working knowledge of databases and SQL is a must for anyone who wants to start a

    loved the course. Had a few typos that need updated, but the material and how it was covered was really nice. some challenging learning curves in the labs. All in all I felt I learned a lot.

    The videos were incredibly basic and didn't require as much practice as expected with real data and querying capabilities overall. It gave you the answer directly instead of a process of elimination. I would have liked more exercises overall with each concept introduced.

    Amazing course. Abosolutelly recommended for those who begin in the study of databases. This course gives you an excellent introduction to SQL.

    Some of the labs were tedious to get started with because I had to re-create and import data again and again - it may have been my error but maybe a quick module showing how to set up and let these practice data sets persist in the very beginning would be good!

    This course really an eye-opener for me regarding fundamental of SQL and hands-on problem solving and thought me about critical thinking. Really recommended for those to learn about SQL. Thanks so much!

    Solid but I wish there was more interaction, not just a monologue. It teaches you the basics, but some more in-depth explanations and personalization would go a long way.

    This is the best SQL course I've ever taken! It has tons of hands-on labs, the theory is explained clearly, and you even get to work with IBM DB2.

    Wanted to give 4.5 stars but there was no option like this was an amazing course for any beginners. Anybody who want to use Sql in any form should take this course as a revision. There are two languages being used namely Mysql and H2 from IBM database. Course focuses on practical part rather than theory although some of the theory part is being taken care of.

    lab exercises are the same questions and answers as the examples taught in the lesson. this makes it hard for someone with a good memory to actually learn and apply new tools to the exercises. multiple errors within the exercises and some of them were lacking info. aside from that, this was a great basic course to learn one example of each of the most common functions used within SQL as well as main definitions.
