Course Description

You learned a little SQL, but you are ready to take the next step and really understand how databases work. Or maybe you are a complete beginner. Here’s a little secret. It’s not that complicated. That’s right. Databases are actually a very simple concept that starts with a simple Table just like a spreadsheet in Excel. Everything else in the database is built around this little concept of a table.

With a little SQL Server knowledge, you can retrieve data yourself. You can automate your reporting. You can help management find information and troubleshoot problems. You can even transfer this knowledge to Oracle and MySQL.

In this course, veteran consultant, Joey Blue, takes you through the essentials of SQL Server right through advanced topics such as backups, security, and indexes. This course is recommended for all business and IT professionals that want to advance their careers by understanding their corporate database.

this is the second SQL course I take and I would have liked to have available the definition of the SQL commands. So the theory would have been a nice addition. The exercises were good but they did not have a correction so i wouldn't know for sure if my answer was correct or if there was a different way to achieve the same answers. If I hadn't taken a introductory course prior to this one, it would have been pretty hard to follow.

By Ashley Ross on 11/20/2022

I had taken another SQL course but still found I was having difficulty with the concepts. I found a few videos from Joey on YouTube and stumbled on this course so I decided to go for it as I liked the videos I had watched on YouTube. I was not disappointed, this course really helped me to write and understand different types of queries. Thank you! Looking forward to the next one.

The set up and installation was relatively straightforward despite being quite complex and subject to software updates. I wasn't able to access the Pre Assessment resources but have raised a question about this.

By Shawnta Byrd on 10/21/2020

The step by step visual on how to install everything was exactly what I needed. I am so ready to learn!!!!! Wooohooo!!!!

By Trintin Caley Affleck on 10/17/2020

Very easy to follow along!

By Marie Renee Emery on 10/14/2020

Pretty straight forward. I had to download one or the other of these first. Step 1: Enable Microsoft .Net Framework 3.5 SP1. and Download and install Microsoft .Net Framework 4.0.
then Microsoft SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 3 (SP3) Express as of 10/01/2020
Hopefully this helps someone else.

Good instructor. Use the simple English

By Rajesh on 9/27/2020

expalnation is very good and clear to understand. But not too depth into topics basics only. if there are practice questions on each it help to practice and gain knowledge.

By Barnabas Demeke on 9/10/2020

Lectures are very plane and not engaging. Lucks enthusiasm.

By Geo 3d on 8/26/2020

This course seems dated. Windows 7? The description of the course said that it had been recently updated. I hope so.

By Yusufu Heri Kihojo on 8/19/2020

Amazing, above expectation.
