Course Description

Whichever database application you use does not matter! This course will cover design concepts for all relational database management systems. This course is designed for those who want to download this course or watch it ad free. This is a course for relational database design. Here are some examples of the most popular databases:

  • MySQL
  • Oracle
  • Microsoft SQL Server
  • PostgreSQL
  • SQLite
  • MiariaDB
  • and MORE!

We start off this course by taking our time to first look at what a database is and how it differs from a spreadsheet, website, filing cabinet, and so forth. We introduce SQL and talk about data definition language and data manipulation language. After about 4 solid videos of explaining databases and SQL, we dive into learning about entities and attributes. We apply all of these concepts to structure tables and relationships. We learn to design all of the relationships and I explain everything in depth.

Most of the videos are on my chalkboard, explaining concepts. This is because it helps to fully understand database design before you dive into designing your own database. Once we go over all of the concepts of database design we will be designing databases from start to finish.

No programming skills are required. This course does not program a database. This course will only be teaching how to best design your database. You may be wondering why such a large course is required for only designing a database. Well, designing a database is an extremely important part of database management. The best design will get us the best results and make programming our database really easy.

After this course you should be able to tackle almost any database design project with confidence and skill. Keep in mind though that learning database design takes a lot of time and effort. Be sure to take notes and stop after each video to reflect on what you've learned. Keeping notes will make this video course a whole lot easier!

Instructor Details

Caleb Curry

Hi! I'm Caleb. I have created over 1,500 tutorials on data, software development, cryptocurrency, etc. I believe that the way I teach is what matters. I don’t flash big words without explaining them and I don’t assume knowledge.

I keep it simple

My goal is to simplify complex problems for anyone to understand. I'm not your typical "teachers who can create an entire course without actually explaining anything.

I keep it detailed

I also like to be thorough. If you watch my content and don’t leave with a new understanding, then I am not doing my job.


I keep it fun

My primary goal is not to put you to sleep as I read an encyclopedia from slides (I prefer dictionaries). Actually, I kinda hate Powerpoint. My unique approach has caused my videos to be watched 91 years (that’s 800K hours of watchtime on YouTube alone).


I am now a tech trainer with this resume:

170k+ YouTube subscribers

180k+ Udemy students

Ex-IBMer and Ex-Software Engineer

O’reilly Live trainer and course author

International speaker on data and Software Development

10 years of coding experience


I love teaching, and I’m beyond excited to have you join me in the learning process.

Cubre los conceptos básicos, sin embargo, considero que le hace falta material descargable como diagramas con la teoría vista en el curso.

By Jose Alvarez Pumarino on 11/9/2023

He does not take advantage that he can edit his videos and present fully prepared examples. All examples on his course are made at the moment and are very awful, like a bad teacher who does not prepare the class and take forever at the blackboard to show you a poor made up example. Course is very basic, so if you know next to nothing it will be helpful. Another thing, we paid for the course so we expect to avoid the annoying thing of "be sure to subscribe" at the end of every video, like if it was a free video you're watching on youtube.

Unconsistent, unclear, followed by annoying comments and breaks, such as subscribe, subscribe, subscribe. Time consuming explanations of simple terms, a lot of useless comments. Dissapointing! The presenter is improvising and losing the focus on topics. It could be organized on more sistematic, efficient and clearer way, spending at least 30% less time by better preparation and more fluent presentation. Just take a look to the lesson 19 and you will understand what Im talking about. A bad spent time. Big minus for you Udemy, so think about of your reputation!

By Wilson ASH on 11/16/2020

Great course, Caleb has done a good job of simplifying complex concepts. I am a data scientist and I wish I did a similar course at the beginning of my career. I would recommend this course to anyone interested in data analytics or/and data science.
