Brief Introduction

Learn basic SQL so you can communicate better with DBAs and Developers, and increase your value as a team member.

Description

This course teaches the principles of Relational Databases and the SQL language. It is intended for "Analysts". Knowledge of Relational Databases and SQL is one of the most valued technical skills an analyst can have. It will make you a more valued member of any team.

This course is suitable for a novice. I start by explaining how Relational Databases relate to your experience in the everyday world. When you have completed the course and exercises you will have created a database containing several related tables, updated the data they contain and written many queries which extract and summarise that data.

I teach using a mixture of lectures, demonstrations and exercises. You will learn by seeing, hearing and doing. With each step you build your knowledge using what you have learned already. An on-line course sets you free to work at your own pace and to review and revisit earlier material, even after you have completed the course.

Requirements

Requirements
The primary requirement for this course is an inquisitive, analytical mind. You want to "understand how things work."
You do not need to be a programmer or mathematician. What little programming or mathematics is needed, I will explain during the course.
If you are going to do the exercises, then you will need a PC capable of running MS SQL Server, and have Administrator authority to install software.
You will find the course easier if you have experience using a text editor such as Notepad, or Word, and a spreadsheet such as Excel. You should also know how to create and use subdirectories in the Windows directory structure.
