MySQL High Performance Tuning Guide (Udemy.com)

Content was good. The only downsides are a bit nitpicky. There are a few typos in the presentation/lectures. Also the presenters accent is a bit thick. I really had to pay a lot of attention and I found myself missing some points when I came to the questions. Besides that it was good. I really like how the course is broken up into short lectures which makes it easy to consume.

Um curso que traz uma visão geral sobre os pontos que permitem uma boa performance do banco de dados, que vai desde a construção da query e utilização dos indexes, como também, as configurações do funcionamento do banco juntamente com o hardware do servidor. Todas esses ensinamentos não são aprofundados, mas passam uma ideia geral do funcionamento.

Great course. Dont be fooled by the small amount of hours in this course. It is packed with information every single second. Although this states it would only take a couple of hours to complete this actually took me several days. It helped to watch a video then go to explore the topic on a database so that you can get hands on experience with it. There so much data in here as well that I was able to create multiple pages of notes. Amazing course to gain a deep understand of MySQL and how to optimize your tables as well as queries.

It's easy to tell, based on its length, that this course is only an introduction to performance tuning. Based on the available preview videos for the course, you can also tell that the instructor is not a native English speaker, and his accent sometimes makes it hard to hear what he's saying. So I'm not factoring those in, rating this course. I liked that the lectures are short, and usually (if not always) followed by one or more quiz questions (but quite often, the questions are easy to the point that they are silly). I found the lectures to be quite interesting, but your mileage may vary. I may be wrong, but I think that on occasion the instructor says the exact opposite of what he intends to say. However, the biggest minus of this course (which you can't tell without access to the Q&A section of the course), is that the instructor doesn't respond to questions -- his latest response is of "1 year ago". All in all, for the discounted price it is a decent course, but I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it.

This course has taught me a lot of things concerning SQL performance on MySQL/MariaDB. Not everything is applicable to MariaDB, but a lot of it is. This course will not provide you with a simple answer to the question ‘What can I do to enhance the performance of my application’, but it will teach you the tools that are available to do so.

The content of the Course is excellent, thats the most important thing to me, however, in my case, I had to go back or stop the lessons because: First, the pronunciation is not very good, but acceptable, the subtitles leave a lot to be desired throughout the course, I did not see a well-written "MySQL", or it was "mi skill", "eskel", etc... that only tells me that nobody cares the hassle of reviewing the engine that generates the subtitles, let alone giving the speaker the ability to review them.

This was a decent high level look at MySQL performance optimizations and some common issues you run into. I wish it had included an example project where you applied the techniques as you learned about them. The quizzes were too frequent and too short to be of much use though, and mainly asked about something you heard in the last minute, I'd ignore them and go through them at the end.

Very hands-on and pragmatic. Useful as a warm-up, or for learning re-learning the dry textbook-level, academic body of knowledge about transactions, query optimization, physical data organization and so on. I took a lot of notes, and copied queries for taking a look under the MySQL hood. Now I know better where to look when there are performance problems. Another plus is that the author spent quite some effort to create a mini-quiz after almost each short video. (On Udemy Course quizzes are uncommon, unlike other MOOC platforms). I had some problems with some of the explanations, but it doesn't matter, considering these quizzes are learning aids - they do not decide over the course of participants' careers. The examples are for MySQL 8, but can be transformed to MySQL 5 with little effort, or just used 1:1,

Its a hard subject to get to grips with however this course shows why indexing is so important and leaves you thinking you have the ability to take this much further quickly, the instructors great experience is being matched by his ability to convey it in a manner that can be picked up by those much less experience quickly!

Course is very knowledgeable and insightful. But there are few issues, if rectified then it will be really good. Issues faced are mentioned below: 1. Captions are not properly transliterated, very confusing for some key words 2. Many videos don't have visuals and audio after a certain time 3. Many descriptions are not available for query shown in the videos
