Last updated September 2026

Our take

Based on the ratings of 25,898 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in September 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is an Oracle-specific SQL course from Database Masters, with Code Star Academy listed as co-instructor. It runs 38 hours across 399 lectures and 21 sections, and it was last updated in September 2026, so it is current. The syllabus starts with database concepts and installation, then moves through SELECT, joins, subqueries, DDL, DML, constraints, views and sequences. That is the shape of the 1Z0-071 exam, and the course is pitched squarely at it.

Reviewers like the clear explanations and the steady pace. One praises the animations that show how joins and set operators work. A senior DBA says it helped with the OCA exam, and another student says they passed their Oracle certification thanks to it. The criticism is mild. One reviewer halfway through wants more active practice, because the exam asks you to read SQL and pick answers, and the course has 15 coding exercises against 37 quizzes. The low-star reviews in the sample are mostly vague one-liners. Only about 1.6 percent of ratings are one or two stars.

With 121,739 students and a 4.6 rating across roughly 25,900 reviews, it is a safe pick for the Oracle exam. Three sample exams with over 225 questions were added in 2026, which helps with the practice gap. Expect about two and a half hours of installation and setup before the real querying starts. Beginners can follow it, since no programming is required. If your goal is general data analysis, a shorter, non-Oracle course will get there faster.

Best forPeople preparing for the Oracle 1Z0-071 exam who want every exam topic covered in order.
Skip it ifYou want general data analysis SQL, or you need lots of hands-on practice rather than video lessons.

Pros

  • Built around the 1Z0-071 exam, with sample exams of 225+ questions added in 2026
  • Animations show how joins and set operators work, which one reviewer singles out
  • Refreshed in September 2026 with a Database 23ai install section and new privileges and roles content
  • Starts from zero with no programming needed, then runs through 399 lectures in 21 ordered sections

Cons

  • Only 15 coding exercises, so hands-on practice is thinner than the quiz count suggests
  • The installation section alone runs about 2.5 hours before real querying starts
  • One reviewer calls it a quick intro with limited depth, and it is Oracle-only
Most beneficial course. Passed my Oracle certification all thanks to this course.
Rakeshkumar Thakur, a student

Listed for all levels. Beginners can follow it from zero, and the exam material suits learners aiming at certification.

By Tejinder Singh Kalsi on 8/12/2026

I think this is the best SQL course available on Udemy. Before starting this course, I had a very limited knowledge of SQL. Basically, to be honest, I didn't know anything other than SELECT query. As I started this course, I developed a deep interest in SQL (I think the instructors delivery mechanism plays a key role in this). the instructor not only teaches you concepts but also ignites curiosity by giving tricky deep-thinking examples. After doing this course, I feel really confident in SQL and developed deep interest in data engineering. Also, this course will also help you building a perfect foundation you will require for Advanced SQL topics such as (Window Functions, CTE etc.) Thank you.

By Emmanuel Adenam on 7/21/2026

I'm an i degree holder but the course is on a diferent level of what i learnt , very detail , clear language used , Thanks

By David Martinez on 3/30/2026

Estoy aprendiendo cómo desarrollar nuevas queries de SQL para obtener información de forma más precisa

By Ryan McElhaney on 3/20/2026

Very clear and thorough summary! I especially appreciate the animations that point and carefully explain how search, joins, set, and other statements work. Highly, highly recommend!

By Cindy Baxter on 3/10/2026

Overall, course content is very good and easy to follow. I think it's a loss that the code exercises did not continue into the more challenging material. Breaking up the information into smaller pieces, in a word problem format, really helped to exercise the new skills. Also, the music between sections is extremely loud.

By Elton Marshal Goudinho on 1/27/2026

for beginner, this course helps a lots to understand right basic level. Good course !!... Kudos to trainer of this course

By Nathan Daniel on 11/14/2025

This course goes into depth regarding Oracle SQL. This is very informative and a great way to start as a complete beginner. My only advice is to add more lab scenarios. Repetition is the key to success. Having a lab scenario for creating queries would help those who require a more hands-on experience for retaining information.

By Smita Dash on 11/12/2025

I felt very good about the course as the explanation is detailed however in the roleplay section even though i have completed its showing as incomplete , how to resolve this issue or what are the conditions for roleplay if more details are given would be better

By Paula Eugenia Taibo on 11/10/2025

Buena explicación, pero pésima traducción a español, me costó muchísimo seguirlo, y me tuve que apoyar en otras plataformas. Si mejoran eso, sería un 10, hoy es un 7, igual Gracias!

By Lamine KANE on 9/26/2025

The chapter on Privileges was a bit challenging but over all, i've spent a good time following this course. I learned so much about oracle! Thank you very much
