Hello! Firstly, I’m an absolute beginner in programming languages, and I’m happy to share that I have started with SQL. It’s quite interesting and easy to learn, all thanks to Sandeep Sir for providing this course!
By Joe McGinn on 1/28/2024
I am trying to learn something new. Been exploring databases I know its hard have to learn the basics, this is good if you want a broad brush let you know what you'll need learn
By David P on 2/20/2023
I had issues in Section 4 with Unions and Joins, I copied and pasted the "working codes" from the training and SQL was giving me errors. I did use SQL Server Management Studio 19.0.20200, so I don't know if this would have made a difference or not.

I like how the content is simplified and done at a comfortable pace. However, I would like to know more about the program we are using overall before diving in, so I am able to better retain what I am doing and understand the bigger picture. But, for it being free, excellent!
By Petro Hladii on 4/13/2022
That was really interesting and valuable course, bacause I was gain new knowledges about a technology which I have heard really long time. Material was clear and easy to percieve.
By Justin Isbell on 1/26/2022
I was recently tasked with learning SQL for a potential job within the company I work for and this has given me a solid understanding of how MSQL works. Highly recommended!
By Gabriel Mourão on 9/16/2021
Very objective and easy to understand. If you want to review the written code for all his videos are available as text. The only con i can point out is the missing english subtitle, very important for people that are still intermediate / intermediate-high on english, but that's not enough to lower my rating
By Sandy Gonzalez on 7/11/2021
It is very clear and straightforward. Good explanations and logical structure. This course have a page of code after each video which is quite helpful to save notes and reviewing content quickly. Finally something that I personally appreciate is the quality of sound and the articulation of the voice. Glad to find this course :) Thank you for sharing!
By Arturo Martínez Yáñez on 6/8/2021
It was OK in general but in the course it was not covered for example how to review more than 2 tables at the same time. How to ingest data from our created DB. How to recover a deleted DB, etc.
By Angela Smith on 5/28/2021
I am new to learning MS SQL ( 3 months) and I wanted more practice. I loved the training and made lots of notes for myself, my goal is to change careers from Office Manager to Data Analysis. If you really want to learn MS SQL take this course first and then move on to a longer full class if your aim is to become an Expert!
