Have you heard that database skills are essential for developers to be skilled in and understand?
Are you wanting to understand SQL and databases in general, but don't know where to start?
Maybe you have a pressing need to learn about Database Design and/or Data Analysis but have not found a good place to learn.
Or perhaps you are a developer who wants to improve your career options by having skills in SQL and MySQL, one of the worlds most popular databases.

MySQL (one of the worlds most popular and widely used databases).

The topics covered are a good starting point. However I wish the instructor were a little more enthusiastic and not so monotone. Except that, it was a pretty good experience.

By Cezary Treda on

Clear and easy to understand. I posted some questions during the course but I did not get any answer. Those questions are important to me, surely I will monitor the course and hope/looking forward to get those answers. Please don't forget about my troubles.Thanks again.

By Shanmuga Rajan on

easily understandable, expained in good way.Understood the concept, practice makes perfect.Now its our turn to observe things while coding and get the output as per requirement

By Nikola Kanev on

Explanations were clear and thorough, the course was interesting and very well organised. I would recommend more exercises in Subqueries and on the course as a whole for a better understanding of the matter.

By Dennis Garcia Quiambao on

Instructor neglecting some important aspects that I am asking. He answers some of the basic stuff which other student posted. but when it comes to advance stuff that will make a student better. He doesn't respond.Disappointed with this kind of instructor. First time I commented negatively of all my life buying courses in Udemy. This course not going to get you a job. It will only teach you basic which you can learn for free. Very disappointed I bought this course

By Gazanfarli Mirvari Xaqani on

This course is excellent specially for beginners, all topics explained comprehensively. Thanks a lot

By Kavitha on

One of the best courses on DBMS...!!!

By Bunce1022 bunce on

very detailed and informative. His lessons are easy to follow along with and make sense!

By Elizabeth Torres on

This class is excellent. It is very thorough, and I like that there are exercises throughout the course in order to have the opportunity to apply what I'm learning. I also appreciated that they ran through the installation process for multiple operating systems versus installing on one and telling the students to do their best if they have another machine. Lastly, I'm very thankful that the instructor still responds to new questions even as the course has been on Udemy for a couple years.

By Susan Kavner on

This course was easy to understand and a good introduction to SQL. Some videos do need to be updated though because they don't follow the flow and appear to be from a prior version the the course
