Database Design for Relational Databases using SQL Server (Udemy.com)

Lots of information but found it is far too advanced for a beginner, perhaps it was me, I could have done with some real life examples and how to understand designing the database at a more simplified level building up to the more complex concepts. Like I said perhaps it was me.

The content of this course has been well drafted and delivered by the instructor. It would also be nice if we were introduced to data modelling concepts and demos as well.

Great knowledge about the concept and have enjoyed one of your other videos you made SQL server. I will recommend this and any other videos to other who wants to learn and become experts in this field.

Great course for this topic exactly what I was looking for. Maybe if another section was added to explain most common schema types it would have been excellent. Oh also most videos are wayyy too short better keep them together ina 4-5min videos. An the instructor is speaking really sowly I followed everything at 1.25 speed :-). Apart from these 2-3 points great course!

A comprehensive course. It's a dry - but important - subject so was always going to be difficult for the tutor to "bring it alive". And it was (difficult). But, I now know a lot more than I did before so, no complaints here.

Your explanations are clear and great. Toke me from 0 to hero in terms of understanding this concept. Much appreciated. Also loved that no time is wasted on writing the code during the videos which sounds obvious but many other Udmy courses actually do.

This course is very well organized and detail oriented. It includes all the code needed to create tables and insert data to follow along with the demos, including many notes, all downloadable so you can easily follow along. I was really happy with the answers to the questions I submitted - replies came directly from the instructor, and he took care to explain things in detail in a way I could easily understand - I was really appreciative of this. The information is presented with concepts being defined first, followed by a demo. While concepts are presented clearly with examples, the structure of the course doesn't vary and the instructor remains in teacher mode the whole time. For me personally this style can make it difficult to stay engaged at times. My main suggestion would be the addition of challenges (even if just mini quizzes) throughout the course so students can make sure they're on track and engaged. Currently, there are a couple of good challenges at the end of the course.

This course taught me exactly what I needed. Was thinking of taking a uni course on relational databases, but this appears to have the same information in a clearly explained format. I personally liked the pacing: the teacher talks slowly but the information is very concise so it is easy to absorb. I do have a few suggestions for improvement: It should be clear from the course description that SQL server only runs on windows or linux, but not on mac. Fortunately I had some experience with Docker so it was easy to set it up on my mac, but if you don't that might be a problem. It would also be nice to have either some assignments or tests at various points, to consolidate the learning.

To the point, well organized and clear introduction to relational database design. The SQL code samples work. On the last lecture the (naming conventions demo) would be good to add the .sql file. Thanks. Recommended.

I got a lot out of this course, it was well-structured and easy to follow. Daniel's explanation of 3NF and how it’s different to BCNF was clearly explained. It made sense to me and it was good to see formal definitions of the normal forms and how these relate to the more informal definitions like “3NF is where a table has no transitive dependencies".
