About the Course

Working knowledge of SQL (or Structured Query Language) is a must for data professionals like Data Scientists, Data Analysts and Data Engineers. Much of the world's data resides in databases. SQL is a powerful language used for communicating with and extracting data from databases. In this course you will learn SQL inside out- from the very basics of Select statements to advanced concepts like JOINs. You will: -write foundational SQL statements like: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE -filter result sets, use WHERE, COUNT, DISTINCT, and LIMIT clauses -differentiate between DML & DDL -CREATE, ALTER, DROP and load tables -use string patterns and ranges; ORDER and GROUP result sets, and built-in database functions -build sub-queries and query data from multiple tables -access databases as a data scientist using Jupyter notebooks with SQL and Python -work with advanced concepts like Stored Procedures, Views, ACID Transactions, Inner & Outer JOINs through hands-on labs and projects You will practice building SQL queries, work with real databases on the Cloud, and use real data science tools. In the final project you’ll analyze multiple real-world datasets to demonstrate your skills....

The course starts from the basics but progresses to intermediate level concepts in SQL, like joins and subqueries, which are required for day to day work in the Software industry.

This was an excellent course even though it was challenging. I was able to move from introductory SQL to Intermediate level. I really, really enjoyed the practice exercises.

Amazing course for anyone wanted to learn Databases & SQL, Lab connectivity should be improved and Week 4 have lot of primary things marked as optional needed to be adjusted.

Good course on the basics of SQL. I was surprised that it didn't cover JOINS in the main section of the course, but you get the option to take it as a bonus, that's a plus.

I am so much glad to learn Databases and sql for data science and completed my certification.

I strongly recommended this course who does not know any thing about database.

There are many technical issues in IBM Watson Studio but due to the availability of peer community, the messages in discussions helped me a lot to completed this course.

Not bad, but for me, again, is to many online tools. From my point of view, some Docker Compose with the prepared container(for bd, for notebook) will be more suitable.

The final assignment lab using the Jupyter Notebook did not work/load.

It was also hard to see the screenshots of the SQL query and results for the final assignment.

I learn't more about querying databases and creating connection between data base and python using jupter notebook, and one intresting thing i learn is the SQL magic

The overall content is good. The exercises were not as varied as expected to my personal opinion. However, the different ways to practice are great skill generators

Course was great but RDBS in browser was so slow that i need to wait for couple of minutes to create a table. Thankfully, doing the same in python took few seconds

Tough start, really boring material and I hoped I never needed to work with SQL. Later though it started to click a bit better and was (slightly) more enjoyable.

This course is best for beginners to get started with the database and sql with ibm cloud. But the content can be improved more as the assignments is concerned.

Challenging course for a beginner like me but multiple pieces of code that I encountered weren't explained at all., for instance : index=False, method='multi'.

Teaches pretty well for people like me that had none previous knowledge in SQL.

I think that could tell a little bit more about SQL outside the IBM platform.

Lo de adjuntar las respuestas con imagenes jpg, no me gusto mucho, es incomodo, existen muchas otras formas de hacerlo, por ejemplo con Juppyter Notebooks

I feel the videos could be more explanatory and should explain some of the concepts a bit more in details. Rest everything was good especially the labs.

Good course, the IBM Cloud SQL DB2 interaction with my python notebook was not ready for prime time , however the concepts in the course were excellent

I personally already knew a lot of what was covered, but I can also say that they did a great job of explaining SQL for someone who has never used it.
