Course Description
The SQL language seems simple - and that's true. However, some topics can cause mistakes - things like NULL values, duplicate rows and missing rows, etc. This course covers the frequent mistakes, and how to avoid them.
You will learn SQL syntax applicable to most relational databases. In the practice exercises you will use PostgreSQL, but the knowledge is easily transferable to other databases. The standard SQL is the same in all ANSI-compliant SQL databases.
The course has English subtitles (closed captions) manually created!

- Those who do not know SQL at all.
- Those who know some SQL commands, but are not quite comfortable using them.

Explanation of some concepts not very clear. Annotations on slides would help to clarify points.

Está a ser bom para "reavivar" o que foi aprendido nos tempos de faculdade.

your contents are awesome, just little bit concentrate on modulation of your speech, if you do then its awesome to watch your tutorials
By Sue Clark
So far good.
I had a permissions error on the first location where I stored the files. I moved them and had no issues, but it might have been an issue if I was a beginner user as opposed to someone from the DOS days.

er wordt gevraagd applicaties te downloaden. Deze is verouderd en werkt niet. Althans niet bij mij.
Dus deze cursus kan je dan niet vervolgen.
