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 create and maintain database objects. The Structured Query Language (SQL) can be taken for academic credit as part of CU Boulder’s Master of Science in Data Science (MS-DS) degree offered on the Coursera platform. The MS-DS is an interdisciplinary degree that brings together faculty from CU Boulder’s departments of Applied Mathematics, Computer Science, Information Science, and others. With performance-based admissions and no application process, the MS-DS is ideal for individuals with a broad range of undergraduate education and/or professional experience in computer science, information science, mathematics, and statistics.

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 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.

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"
