i can understand the basic of sql and practice it through some exercise
By Kiran N S on 1/19/2024
explanation is very clear till now and looking forward
By Ashok Moturu on 1/5/2024
So far so Good. The practical tasks and the way the concepts are explained are really well done. Some of the functions that were covered in the earlier subjects are not functioning in the exercises, and as a result, the topic or exercise appears incomplete. If you could provide the answers to each exercise, that would be great. Even though my results and the expected results match exactly, the test is still failing. It really irritates me a lot.
By Rajesh P on 7/12/2023
explaination is good but not providing the customer and sales table to check the queries
