Course Description

This course is a brief presentation of Oracle SQL.

Please note: This course is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Oracle.


We will install a version of Oracle Express Edition and Oracle SQL Developer for free.

  • The Oracle Express Edition is the back engine, which does all of the work.

  • Oracle SQL Developer is the front engine, which allows you to send queries and see the results.

We'll then look at the SELECT statement with its 6 main clauses (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING and ORDER BY).

  • The SELECT clause says what fields you want to retrieve.

  • The FROM clause shows the data source.

  • The WHERE clause filters it down, based on criteria you choose.

  • The GROUP BY clause aggregates (sums, count, min, max) it together, creating a summary.

  • The HAVING clause can summarise it further.

  • The ORDER BY clause then orders the results.

As part of this, we'll be looking at how you can rename fields in a query, how you can use the AS keyword, and semicolons and comments.

Following this, we'll look at what else you need to know, and resources (which range from FREE to very expensive) which will help you to learn it.

No prior knowledge is required - just a willingness to learn.

See you on the course.

This was a good overview to Oracle SQL: Introduction. SELECT-FROM-WHERE-GROUP BY-HAVING-ORDER BY I practiced with my own dataset within Oracle APEX and did the same exercises. Very useful to see the lessons using data that is meaningful to me. Thanks.

The course is a little elementary for me but a refresher of the basics can be good.

By Cansu Kalkan on 8/5/2020

By Digant Jani on 5/26/2020

It was beautiful course. Just It was sometimes more Monotonic when going inside deep understanding. But overall good Introduction to the ORACLE SQL

By Adriano Rodrigues de Araujo on 5/3/2020

Nao esperava um curso sem legendas em portugues; pois a legenda oficial era na mesma lingua do instrutor do curso de oracle e assim prejudicando o entendimento dos aspectos tecnicos e idioma na pronuncia.

By Dan A North on 3/29/2020

Excellent as usual, and a great refresher for an RDBMS I've not worked with in several years. Thank you sir. The only concern I noted was with the closed captions. It did not translate Mr. Burton's statements well at all on my system, so I turned it off.
