Course Description

This course is designed to give a detailed introduction to using and understanding structured query language (SQL) for manipulating business data. More and more companies rely on IT systems that store information in databases. This information is typically retrieved using SQL and its use is becoming widespread amongst not just IT teams but business users also. The course contains walk through videos, printed documents of the course material as well as links to resources you need to be able to carry out the course. The course is laid out over 3 levels starting with the very basics and assumes no prior SQL knowledge, right up to level 3 where we will be looking at Microsoft SQL Server specific functionality to really harness the power of a SQL database. If you need to access any data be it online or within your own company then this course is for you. Financial systems form the hub of any business these days and many job roles require some level of SQL ability. This course will equip you with the knowledge you need to perform these tasks within your business or employment to improve your prospects. Most business systems utilise some form of SQL database, typically Microsoft SQL Server which is why this course focuses on that particular product. Additionally we can download a free 'express' version of the product to work through the course. And the unconditional, Udemy backed, 30 day money-back guarantee is not just any old guarantee, it's my personal promise to you that you will succeed ... just like my thousands of other Udemy students. Who this course is for:

An employee working within a business that is looking to use SQL
A business owner who needs to better understand and utilise the data being used within their business
Someone looking to add SQL to their skills

Time: 2.5h

By Eric Reid

Pivots and dynamic SQL make this a little more advanced.

By Brian Sanders Johnson

From start to finish this course teaches you everything you need to know to get started in SQL. It doesn't cover every function or piece of SQL but it gives you a detailed look at the core fundamentals of working with SQL. I will surely be looking for more course by Gary Kind. Excellent.
