    About the Course

    In this course you will learn all about the Structured Query Language ("SQL".) We will review the origins of the language and its conceptual
    foundations. But primarily, we will focus on learning all the standard SQL commands, their syntax, and how to use these commands to
    conduct analysis of the data within a relational database. Our scope includes not only the SELECT statement for retrieving data and creating
    analytical reports, but also includes the DDL ("Data Definition Language") and DML ("Data Manipulation Language") commands necessary to

    Very comprehensive, and thorough. I gained a more extensive understanding of SQL and how to use it to manipulate and query a database. I enjoyed the professors light hearted presentation style.

    Good for setting the foundation for SQL. Some topics may need more explanations like subquery. Overall, a good course.

    The mentors do not answer the queries posted in the discussion forum which is highly disappointing.

    Too vague. The professor needs to provide well defined definitions about different functions of SQL. And compare how each function is different from each other. Currently, it is just one jumbled mess in the head after taking the lecture. Will be moving on to some other course in SQL

    The labs have a problem, you cannot change the language of the keyboard. If you are not using the English keyboard you might not be able to use them. Luckily, I have a virtual vm with SQL at work, I could restore the DB and use the queries on my environment.

    An extremely good, interesting and high-quality course.

    I would recommend to anyone interested in the field of SQL, Data Science, Databases.

    The course is very understandable and adapted, very nice explanations by the lecturer.

    I would especially emphasize the opportunity to try out the acquired knowledge and a platform that is easy to understand.

    Personally, I am very satisfied with the course, acquired knowledge, explanations, practical application, etc.

    Thank you to everyone who participated in the creation and design of this course.

    A really well-structured course teaching SQL that focuses on just the right amount of material and at the right pace. The instructor also has a great personality, wide knowledge, and deep wisdom, when it comes to SQL.

    An excellent introduction to the concepts, structure, commands and use of SQL. Using the PostgreSQL platform, the course content is informative, well explained, and hands-on. It was great to be able to use the online Lab environment throughout the course.

    Peer review is not to my liking... most don't give any real feedback and instructors are to get answers from... but content of the course is great... sometimes need more info(instruction) and have to go off line to other sources.

    Highly recommend this as a foundational SQL course. Added bonus is listening to Alan Paradise occasional philosophical musings, even citing Nietzche in the first lecture "Understand your "why" and you can bear almost any how"
