Course Description

Do you want to become a data engineer?

Are you ready to take your SQL skills to the next level and stand out in today’s competitive, data-driven industry?

The Advanced SQL for Data Engineering course is designed to give you the edge you need. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your expertise, this course will help you master the SQL techniques essential for solving real-world data challenges.

Across eight detailed sections, you’ll build a solid foundation and progressively dive into advanced topics. You'll begin by setting up your environment and gaining a deep understanding of relational databases. Then, you'll get hands-on with core SQL operations—Data Definition Language (DDL), Data Manipulation Language (DML), Data Query Language (DQL), and Data Control Language (DCL).

But that’s just the start! As the course progresses, you’ll learn how to master advanced SQL techniques like database manipulation, DateTime management, and working with complex data types such as ENUMs, Ranges, and nested data. You’ll perfect key SQL statements like CREATE, ALTER, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and more, preparing you to handle sophisticated data tasks.

What truly sets this course apart are the advanced query techniques you'll explore—OVER, different types of JOINS, CASE, CONCAT, and Recursive Common Table Expressions (CTEs). These are the techniques that top data engineers rely on to extract and manipulate complex datasets, making you a true SQL pro.

You’ll also deep dive into data optimization and design with lessons on data normalization, the STAR schema, and Snowflake model. Plus, you’ll master performance-enhancing techniques using stored procedures, User-Defined Functions (UDFs), materialized views, and transactions—key skills to ensure your databases run at peak efficiency.

And it doesn't stop there! By the end of the course, you’ll test your skills through real-world exercises that prepare you for the challenges of a real data engineering role.

Learn from a true industry expert. Shashank Kalanithi an experienced Senior Software Engineer with an extensive expertise in Data. He has worked as a Data Analyst, Data Scientist, and Data Engineer in leading Big Tech firms.

Of a good explanation, you went through the main concepts slightly, so it's like an appetizer for you to dig deep as you see other concepts or as you face them, incredibly well orchestrate and straight to the point

By Simon Cheek on 11/29/2025

Mostly well explained, very good intro to more involved SQL and database management. I felt like we were just getting to the good stuff at the end, but it was a very good course nevertheless!

By Prateek Trivedi on 3/14/2025

Great Content!! It summarizes most important aspects of SQL programming in minimum possible time without compromising on details & depth students should be aware of.

By Farrah Hermes on 10/30/2024

This course was great! A lot of what I learned for advance SQL has been through mentors and having a video layout all the concepts was so helpful to strengthen my preexisting knowledge!

By Tanveer Ali on 8/11/2024

The instructor really knows their stuff and explain it in a very easily understandable manner. The only gripe I have with this course is that it does not have too much to practice for us. I thought there'd be more examples. But all-in-all it was well worth the 2.5 hrs.

By Anonymized User on 7/3/2024

This course provides an in-depth explanation of SQL that covers a multitude of concepts and examples. You can gain vast knowledge as an SQL beginner, and even a seasoned DB engineer may find pieces of valuable information not known before. The course builds on PostgreSQL, so if you use PostgreSQL, you'll profit most. For other SQL solutions, some concepts may not apply. The course is structured consistently and very well. There's one caveat: You typically cannot reuse tables. If you write a table 'Employee' in one section, you have to drop it for the next section, and recreate it. Therefore, if you're going to take this course thoroughly, you'll need about twice the time specified.

By Akshada Yogesh Joshi on 6/27/2024

It was a great experience. Learned new concepts. I have worked on mysql but never used PostgreSQL. Due to this course got an insights of such new db type as well. Course content was really helpful.

By Efrain Vieira Lírio on 4/11/2024

Is a very good course but the material in github are incomplete. For example on the section 7 we have only the file "section_7_4_quetion_4.sql". Haven't scripts for the questions 1, 2 and 3.

By Jamuarê de Almeida Strauss on 2/14/2024

Usually SQL courses only cover the very basics. In a real life scenario hardly you find only basics. This course helps to improve the understanding of more profissional SQL. Real life SQL.

By Ahmed Burale on 10/22/2023

This course is truly remarkable. I found the content very relevant and up-to-date. The sections are well structured and hands-on examples and exercises beneficial in reinforcing the concepts. Overall, I would highly recommend this course to anyone looking to master SQL for data engineering.
