FAQ's

Why learn SQL?

  1. SQL is the most universal and commonly used database language. It powers the most commonly used database engines like PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, and MS SQL. Simply put, If you want to access databases then yes, you need to know SQL.

  2. It is not really difficult to learn SQL. SQL is not a programming language, it’s a query language. The primary objective where SQL was created was to give the possibility to common people to get interesting data from the database. It is also an English-like language so anyone who can use English at a basic level can write SQL queries easily.

  3. SQL is one of the most sought-after skills by hiring employers.

  4. You can earn good money

How much time does it take to learn SQL?

SQL is easy but no one can determine the learning time it takes. It totally depends on you. The method we adopted to help you learn SQL quickly starts from the basics and takes you to advanced level within hours. You can follow the same, but remember you can learn nothing without practicing it. Practice is the only way to learn SQL quickly.

What's the difference between SQL and PostgreSQL?

SQL is a language. Specifically, the "Structured Query Language"

PostgreSQL is one of several database systems, or RDMS (Relational Database Management System). PostgresSQL is one of several RDMS's, others of which are Oracle, Informix, MySQL, and MSQL.

All of these RDMSs use SQL as their language. Each of them has minor variations in the "dialect" of SQL that they use, but it's all still SQL.

Which is better, PostgreSQL or MS SQL?

Both are excellent products with unique strengths, and the choice is often a matter of personal preference.

PostgreSQL offers overall features for traditional database applications, while MS SQL focuses on faster performance for Web-based applications.

Open-source development will bring more features to subsequent releases of both databases.

Who uses these databases?

Here are a few examples of companies that use PostgreSQL: Apple, BioPharm, Etsy, IMDB, Macworld, Debian, Fujitsu, Red Hat, Sun Microsystem, Cisco, Skype.

Companies that use MS SQL: Accenture, Cognizant, Dell, Microsoft, ViaVarejo etc.

I liked a lot the query excersices, very practic.

By Joanne Fox on 2/13/2026

There are some glitches in the exercises, if the data returned was the same but then returned as failed this took me a while to figure this out it was quite annoying to find the answers were case and space sensitive.

No one discuss about errors, this tutor is brilliant

By Scott B Borton on 7/24/2024

A good training course in SQL that (mostly) flows logically from one subject to another. However, some of the quizzes/tests seem to be out of order, asking about subjects that either appear later, or don't seem to be covered at all. Still, a very helpful primer on SQL usage & syntax.

By Anonymized User on 2/11/2024

This course is a good introduction to PostgreSQL for myself as I already have knowledge using MSSQL. There were a couple of slides that had incorrect query criteria that should have been corrected or identified in the video for the learner not to be confused. I believe it is during the MSSQL video sections where the typing was too prominent for me and I could not 'mute' the heavy-typing during those videos. The downloaded resources (I wish the PDFs were organized properly by section instead of Lecture # as I did not find them organized). Thank you for the PostgreSQL sections!
