Course Description

In this course I'll teach you Structured Query Language - SQL for short - the fast and easy way.

We'll download and use the free trial version of Microsoft SQL Server and I'll teach you exactly how to use it like a pro.

Databases are incredibly important in our modern world, and they remain a mystery to most people. But they're actually pretty easy to use if you know just a few things...and I'll teach you those things in this course.

We'll start out by learning fundamental database concepts, like... what is a database, what is a table, what are rows and columns, and what are data types.

After that I'll show you how to set up and use Microsoft SQL Server.

Then we'll dive right in to SQL itself. I'll teach you basic concepts like
- Select Statements
- Where, And or Not
- How to Order and Group By
- And cool things like that.

Then we'll move into slightly more difficult concepts like
- Having and Top Clauses
- Select Distinct
- Union
- And Functions

Then we'll jump into more advanced concepts like
- Insert and Update Statements
- Deleting and Altering Tables
- Joining Tables
- Primary Keys
- Indexing
- And more!

When you get right down to it, using Databases with SQL is pretty easy, and actually a lot of fun.

Join me today and I'll see you inside!

I love that he divides the videos into small parts and so it easy to go back and rewatch if you feel like you missed something

This course was very informative and I was able to learn a lot from it. Definitely makes me feel a lot more comfortable about reading and interacting with SQL Database.

Very well put together, explains it very through and speaks very clear...

By Eddy Coopmans on 8/12/2020

A nice, quick rundown of common sql statements without getting "into the thick of it". Exactly what I was looking for. I will recommend this course for someone who want to get an idea of what SQL can do.

Good information from the get go

John was awesome and thorough in explaining everything SQL. I am getting back into writing SQL statements and needed a quick refresher on how to execute the code. I will be referring back to this course whenever I get stuck on how to execute or write a query. Thanks!
