Amazing course for beginners! The entire course is well structured and has good hands-on assignments. SQL is extremely essential for Database management and fun learning so please do try this one out!

I am thankful to coursera for providing database and sql for data science course in such a way that anyone can
understand the basic fundamental of sql and database. I learn a lot from this course.

Hands on LAB was helpful for practicing. Though there were too many terms to memorize that it would have been helpful to actually have a kind of cheat sheet hand out prior to each video lesson to help in understanding and following the lectures.

muy buen curso, el problema que tenido es en el examen final, la pagina se reiniciaba cada vez que marcaba una respuesta y la traduccion se cambiaba a cada momento, todo esto me llevo mas tiempo y menos tiempo para pensar las respuestas.

Tuve problemas importantes a la hora de poder realizar el ejercicio final, no cargaba la base de datos en Jupyter y tuve que hacerlo directamente en DB2 IBM donde ciertos comandos no funcionaban y no lanzaba la información correctamente

This course offers a good first overview of working with SQL and database systems. It relies a bit too much on external IBM tools while a more general approach, with the open to get introduced to IBM tools, would be more appropriate.

Good course; got lost in instructions a few times and had to restart the support programs from scratch but got there in the end. Probably jumped in a little too deep and needed to take a few steps back in what course I chose.

well organized course, the labs and assignments were very helpful to practice and gain skills the only drawback was lack of explanations about some lines of code in the labs, you need to search and understand it your self.

I took this course to refresh my SQL skills. In general, this is a good course, but I think there was a little practice. It will be more useful for students to be required to do more tasks and assignments for asessments.

Mostly very good, however there are times when the labs and homework seem inconsistent with the material presented and the difficulty level seems to ramp up beyond the material that was presented in the course material.

The SQL in this course is at an introductory level. Great for someone who has not worked with SQL before, but a bit slow if you have SQL experience. I particularly enjoyed the section about integrating Python and SQL.

The course provides an introduction to SQL but some arguments - such as basic syntax - are only presented and not explained in-depth.
On the other hand, the second part of this course features very interesting labs.

It was really great but i had some issues with the Skills Network Lab while working with DB2. I am happy just wanted to make sure other learners don't get the same issues. Thank you so much for the great course

Issues with DB2 loading tables apparently due to different versions was the only technical problem encountered by myself several others (see forum) made me loose a lot of time. Otherwise this is a great course.

It will give you an idea of what can you do with free databases resourses using sql to manipulate relational databases. you'll also utilize jupiter notebooks to query data connecting the notebook to a database.

I feel like I have learned a lot about SQL from this course since I am not from Computer Science background and the way the course structure was like a step by step manner which made the learning more easy.

This was a very interesting course. It was harder than it needed to be due to a few errors in code, but that also made it more interesting and challenging to verify that you were retaining the information.

there are some unnesessary hardships for the students becase either the IBM tools are not working or not available, or becasue the alternative tools are not properly reivewed and thus contanin mistakes.

Course is god enough. However the last assessment is not. Misprints and not clear questions lead to disappointing marks in the end. Also other students marked assessments based on their understanding.

Most of it really good. I think joins should be covered in the base material and there should be less of an emphasis on sub-queries. The Peer Reviewed final was a little confusing in its questioning.

A very useful course with some very interesting datasets/Jupyter notebooks to work through/practice your skills. Offers a good balanced blend between theory and practical/practice. Very good course!

Much important instruction was missing which lead to a delay in submission of the peer assignment. Various errors popped up which had no solution in the discussion forum also. Kindly look into it.

This course was an Excellent, Interesting, and knowledgeful game for me. I have been excited to lean SQL and Databases and finally IBM and Coursera let my dream come true. Thanks both of them!

Covers the basics, but might be a little difficult for a complete beginner. Manageable, but difficult. Needs more help using SQL within a Jupyter Notebook which should be in the earlier labs.

The course is good with all proper content and practices. However, the evaluation technique for screen shots is not very great. Sometimes its quite difficult to get appropriate screen shots.
