Develop competency in Structured Query Language (SQL) and relational database systems, enabling you to compose SQL queries for retrieving and analyzing information maintained within databases.
This foundational SQL program equips you with essential capabilities to navigate database structures, including tables, fields, and records, plus create SQL queries to retrieve and start working with that information. Our experienced instructor provides practical, hands-on instruction to guide you through database structure fundamentals and strengthen your ability to create actual SQL code.
You will become proficient in creating SELECT statements to specify desired fields from source tables, apply filtering using WHERE, AND, OR, IN, and NOT operators. You will discover how to implement pattern-based searching along with numerical operations like equivalence, greater than, less than, and similar comparisons to obtain precisely the data you need. Additionally, you will understand how to integrate information from separate tables utilizing INNER JOIN operations.
By completing this practical introductory program, you will be equipped to construct elementary SQL queries specific to Microsoft SQL Server. You will employ the free Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio interface to navigate databases and run your SQL queries. Your learning in SQL Server will transfer to other SQL systems (such as Microsoft Access, PostgreSQL, MySQL) with only minor language variation.
What You'll Learn:
Work with database contents, including tables, fields, rows, and relationships, by using the point-and-click interface in SQL Server Management Studio (the no-cost database platform from Microsoft)
- Produce SQL statements to get data from database tables
- Key SQL instructions, including SELECT and FROM
- Limit outcomes using WHERE, AND, OR, IN, and NOT
- Pattern-based searches plus comparison methods such as equal to, exceeds, falls short of, and similar operations
- Link information across various tables by using INNER JOINs
