Querying Data with Transact-SQL

Generally, it seemed like this course covers what I have needed as an analyst professionally. The video lectures contain lots of useful information and the professors have a good dynamic. I work with databases every day, but there was plenty of new material as well---maybe things I should have known already---that will no doubt be useful in my day-to-day. I would have liked to have had more opportunity for practical application.

The content was great and useful. Overall I learned a lot from the course.

Learning transact sql for my job - this course has been a huge help, there is definitely room for improvement on how the content is presented, but this has been the best sql resource I've found so far

Good involving lab assignments that covers all the content that you might see in the videos. Graeme and Geoff are enjoyable teachers, it was a pleasure to learn from them.

I am really enjoying it, it is time consuming however I can't have words to thank microsoft and edx for providing it to needfulls for free. labs are there , test is there and lecturers are there, full support is there if you have any question( my only 2 question upto know were answered in less then 24 hours).

I am very disappointed I have previous experience in SQL BUT this course is The worst course I have ever seen Videos are very long and very boring there is a lot of talk and little information The professor progresses in the material and has no persuasive style I hated databases because of this course Videos must be short for less than 3 minutes and there should be interesting content such as slide shows, teaching aids, illustrations, and graphics. In addition, the professor is a professional in databases but not a professional in teaching

Very interesting course, I have no prior knowledge of SQL and very minimal knowledge of programming, i failed passing for the certificate by 2 points at my first attempt, I will attempt one more time and hopefully pass.

Don't worry if you have no experience with SQL. I can complete this course, it is not that difficult if you read the detail statements and try to guess/predict the results when necessary.

The course was an excellent course on T-SQL. I have worked with SQL Server since v6.5 so I did have familiarity with the subject matter and have utilized numerous topics covered in the lessons. I did find the course challenging as there were a number of the items I had NOT used before (GROUP BY ROLLUP, GROUP BY GROUPING SETS, GROUPING_ID, etc.) which I found very challenging, but very useful and will benefit me in the future. Even though I have been working with SQL Server, the labs were quite challenging and I did learn a lot from the course (after all, isn't that the objective of the course?).

This is a little too intense and hardcore in terms of grading and weight, in my opinion. There were some definite gaps and a little too much assumed programming-wise which is where I failed to understand content the most. I've had some online learning experiences with Python and Java which helped to understand some of the syntax, yet SQL is definitely its own animal.

Good for those who seek to refresh their skills in SQL or gain a credential that showcases their knowledge. The content doesn't involve graded labs, which is unusual given the number of examples they have included in the labs. However, the questions and content are definitely good.

This course is quite nice although is not designed for full beginners. You have to have some ideas of querying with T-SQL. But when you do have used T-SQL before, it's a very nice experience to refresh your skills using this course. The videos are of good quality.
