Microsoft SQL from A to Z (Udemy.com)

I am very glad that I chose this course, now I feel sure that I can cope with any SQL tasks at work. The course is very clear and easy if you already know Excel and VBA.

I'm from finance background. It's very clear and easy to follow course. Love the course being clustered in smaller part for easy learning. The missing full 5 star is because of the technical issue happen during installation, end up I install the 2016 service pack version 13 instead to solve the problem.

This was a great course for me. I use SQL quite frequently in my new role for querying purposes only and find the material incredibly valuable and relevant to my needs. The videos are digestible and easy to follow, and the Assignments posed a good challenge while following skills shown in the videos. I plan to go back through this course material again to better understand the more difficult concepts. I appreciated that it was done in SQL Server Management Studio as that is what I use as work.

I came over from the previous one Brewster made, so I hoped to find more exercises than the ones I made before, it wasn't the case but this course was much more complete, I already recommended it to my teammates who want to learn more about SQL on SQL server

Mr. Brewster teaching style, example and practice questions have been helpful for me to getting introduced to SQL concepts. I wish if I could download the entire lecture notes which are not available to download. I also wish if there could be a next level SQL course available by Mr. Brewster on Udemy.Thank you, Mr. Brewster!!

Very good course. This is the second Brewster Knowlton course that I have taken. I feel that his course construction is just right for me. Very clear. Very logical. If I see other SQL courses by this instructor, I will take them.

Good course. Concise and covers a lot of material for someone that has never used SQL before. I have been able to do some basic querying in my office thanks to this course. Hoping that with more experience some of these lessons will become internalized. The lessons on derived tables and CTE could have been explained a little bit more slowly but nothing that can not be learned by rewatching the videos and looking at other material. In summary, for the price I definitely recommend the course.

The course is very well structured, with good explanations and exercises. The pdf guideline is on its own worth the money of this course.One point worth to be improved is audio. The quality and volume of the recorded audio are just low, and at times it makes it difficult to follow the narrative. I wish audio was re-recorded properly.

this course is greatI started this course from zero knowledge and now I've cleared a interview for SQL Developer that to only in a week.

I am a self-taught beginner/intermediate level T-SQL user in my work as an Analyst, looking for courses which will help plug in the gaps in my learning. That being the case, the most useful information to me is the discussion on the HAVING clause (I never use it), the order of operations SSMS reads the query in (I never knew), the difference between CAST and CONVERT (I'd wondered), and matters related to performance (e.g. don't put the whole case statement in the group by if speed is an issue). I use CTEs in my work all the time, but lacked confidence in rewriting them/reading them as a derived tables, so the coverage of derived tables was useful, also. Some functions were also new to me (COALESCE, FLOOR).I would like to be able to do a follow-up course that focused on using a lot larger range of SQL functions, as Microsoft's online guides can be confusing to unpack, and there's a big difference between looking up the specifics of a function you already know exists (which Microsoft's online guides are very useful for), and knowing what is available and what the use cases are (Microsoft does not tend to be particularly helpful on that front - take, for example, how many useful Excel formulas you never know exist until one day you see someone else use it!).At this stage, I'm not interested in training as a DBA, but my queries are often sufficiently complex (and querying large tables), so understanding performance issues is a priority. Some sort of light coverage of the way in which SSMS and Servers work, as well as a vague overview of how ETL is developed, could also be useful. There must be many like myself who are in an Analyst position and not necessarily seeking MS DBA accreditation but just trying to understand and work with a system someone else has built, and who needs to understand the perspective of ETL Developers and the platform they provide.

Yes i enjoyed the course it so educational its help me bit more understanding the SQL

I enjoyed the course it taught me the basic of SQL. It was easy to follow along with the instructor.
