About the Course

Are you ready to dive into the world of data engineering? In this beginner level course, you will gain a solid understanding of how data is stored, processed, and accessed in relational databases (RDBMSes). You will work with different types of databases that are appropriate for various data processing requirements. You will begin this course by being introduced to relational database concepts, as well as several industry standard relational databases, including IBM DB2, MySQL, and PostgreSQL. Next, you’ll utilize RDBMS tools used by professionals such as phpMyAdmin and pgAdmin for creating and maintaining relational databases. You will also use the command line and SQL statements to create and manage tables. This course incorporates hands-on, practical exercises to help you demonstrate your learning. You will work with real databases and explore real-world datasets. You will create database instances and populate them with tables and data. At the end of this course, you will complete a final assignment where you will apply your accumulated knowledge from this course and demonstrate that you have the skills to: design a database for a specific analytics requirement, normalize tables, create tables and views in the database, load and access data. No prior knowledge of databases or programming is required. Anyone can audit this course at no-charge. If you choose to take this course and earn the Coursera course certificate, you can also earn an IBM digital badge upon successful completion of the course....

This course provides a comprehensive overview of the RDBMS concepts, making it a good introduction for those new to the subject. However, I felt that certain topics, such as database architecture and properties of relations, could benefit from more explanations, examples and illustrations. Additionally, some illustrations and animations in the video tutorials do not seem to convey their intended meaning effectively, and therefore do not add much value to the learning experience. The hands-on labs were quite helpful, but some, especially in modules 1 and 2, contain minor mistakes that led to confusion, as evidenced by the questions raised in the forum.

The labs are great to get started in database design & architecture. I would like that videos were less "robotic" and a little more dynamic. But overall the final challenge is really good

The course was fine, although needs to be updated as db2 lite as a free plan is no longer supported.

Content is good. Probably too much focus on DB2 but that is to be expected from IBM. But the lab service is sometimes unusably slow. You may not be able to finish the final project, as on some days, the labs never load... You can follow along to an extent on mariadb or something on your own computer or server but the labs just don't load on the weekend. If the content looks good to you, go ahead and watch the videos, but don't expect to be able to finish the certificate because the labs might just be down.
