Great coursera, So much to learn but hard to catch(It was totally new to me).

I mean, really, a few days ago, I didn't even knew what SQL was and now I am getting it.

Thank you very much.......

I was a beginner to programming languages and i was trying to know about various programming languages from a couple of months and taking this course was a part of it. i was always very curious to know about databases and how to manupulate them. This course was a perfect beginning to my journey towards database. THANK YOU

Charles Severance makes jumping in and learning new programming languages and ways of thought painless. I highly recommend any course he teaches. (I'm currently enrolled in three others.)

His organization, materials, and presentation are all top-notch. Online education that actually meets the potential of the idea.

What an interesting course! So glad to have enrolled. Excellent marks for Prof. Chuks, the instructor. The lectures were well explained and understood. I am rating it 5 star because the course was all about Intro to SQL and more. this will help my journey into being a data analyst/SQL developer. Thank you!

Really excellent class. The professor breaks everything down and makes it easy to understand. Even with barely any programming experience (just HTML and CSS) in my past, I was able to fully grasp everything and feel like I can implement SQL into my professional life now, confidently. Thanks Dr. Chuck!

I really liked this course, Dr. Chuck is an amazing instructor. I did appreciate the SQL handout a lot, however, it would have been great to spend some more time on the basic commands at the beginning of the class. Overall highly recommended for people who want to get a basic knowledge of SQL.

The best course I ever took at Coursera. I like the pace it goes and how simple and interesting it is. I have no background in programming and still I managed to complete the whole course. Thanks to Professor chuck for his efforts to make this course so interesting and easy for new learners.

Well-structured, expertly delivered to beginners. Thank You. All my SQL problems were solved after completing this course. Now I can easily use SQL Lite, SQL and Microsoft SQL server. I also have noted that actually SQL is available in Microsoft Access.

Keep up the good work

This is the first time I had a practical and very relatable explanation of SQL. I had read the textbook on Modern Database but couldn't wrap my head around most of the jargons and lingos of database but with this course, i have a very deep understanding.

Good for beginning!

I would enhance last 4 week and mention other join types, union, aggregation with group by, views in database.

I understand that this is only an introduction, but have this topics in place in Week 4 seems to be a good idea.

Thank you!

The course has provided me with basic knowledge about SQL. Sometimes the lecturer explained everything confusingly and perplexed, but above all, it works. There should have been more practical exercises, but I think it's pretty enough for a beginner.

This course is easy to understand, despite not having any background in programming or SQL. I also like how the instructor paced through the lessons (and his humor). This definitely encouraged me to pursue my interest to learn more about SQL.

This is a solid course. The instructors knows the material and presents it in an easy to understand way. The bottom line? I walked away from the course knowing much more about SQL than before taking it. That's what it's all about, right?

Dr. Chuck is an amazing instructor! I feel lucky to have been able to learn from him even though it was through an online platform. Thanks a lot, Dr. Chuck! You really are the instructor I always wished I had in my own uni but never did T-T

Really easy and fun way to get you started with SQL. Be carefull tough because with great SQL power comes great responsbility. And ow, before i forget: dont mention using email adresses as a key, it's kind of thing with the professor.

I really like this course. Since I don't really have much experience of coding, learning SQL is very meaningful to me. Thanks to the professor, who is always making me love SQL. I love this magic language and I will work hard always!

Very concise. The whole lecture takes no more than 3 hours, yet still it teaches you all the necessary basics to start with. Highly recommended to those who want quick introduction to SQL and basic relational database concepts.
