It was a informative and precise course with sufficient labs to get hands on.
I found Normalization is pretty tricky to implement. More detailed readings shall help me improve and gain confidence.

They do not teach Databases and SQL anywhere like here. Meta sure does Software Engineering very differently. If you want to be the best, I guess you ought to learn from the best.

The course did not cover natural joins or any interesting usage of aggregation functions, which are essential for SQL queries in real-world apps.
