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....

The final quiz is perfect as no one can use all the materials together and should use his/her information to pass the test so the point is realistic.

It is great course to learn relational databases using different DBMS (Db2, PostgreSQL, and MySQL). Plus, the lab materials are useful to practice.

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

Great course that sums up all that it teaches at the end, unfortunately I encountered an error loading PostgreSQL and MySQL at the end on the cloud IBM platform so I did it in VisCode

Siento que es muy complicado el curso y en el proyecto final hay un error con los permisos de la descarga del archivo csv, sirve bien de introducción pero me costó mucho trabajo

Sometimes it is difficult to understand what on-hand training task is required. It would be really helpful if you can write steps in detail.

Lab instruction needs to be improved according to the version of the software used, few options are changed when tried in practical.
