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....

Assignment marked by other classmates is not a correct method. classmates often do not read answer carefully and give a correct grade.

Does a good job explaining SQL queries. But the final assignment has to be designed better. There are too many repetitive questions.

The last exercise of the last week is not clear how to do it and the server does not run it. There is no assistance from the forum.

I had difficulty accessing libraries and found discrepancies between instructions and IBM UI.

The course material was pretty good.

Instructions for the labs were not clear and indeed IBM DB2 was a little laggy and was not quite an easy platform for a beginner.

inclusion of proprietary IBM software made understanding the concepts difficult. other than that the ideas covered were good.

For those who have never worked with SQL this is a good course. For anyone who has worked with SQL, it's like rain in the wet.

It's nice and it teaches you about SQL, but it lacks practice exercises and sometimes is oversimplified and can be too easy.

The course is good, but the content is not sufficient for learners. If the content is known in advance, it is acceptable.

You should use DB2 to complet it but if you can't there is no support and the alternative in mysql does't work as well .

The final project might need to be reviewed. So much time was spent trying to load one of the .csv files without error!

an unnecessary emphasis on using ibm tools which many times don't get interconnected is a big turn-down.
