SQL Querying (Fundamentals + Advanced)
Course Description:
Organizations store critical operational data in databases, and the ability to retrieve, analyze, and manage it is essential to business success. Structured Query Language (SQL) is the primary tool for interacting with databases and extracting meaningful insights.
In this two-day course, participants will build a strong foundation in SQL querying and expand into advanced techniques used for real-world data analysis and database management. Beginning with core query skills, learners will progress to more complex concepts, including nested queries, data manipulation, views, indexing, and transaction management.
By the end of this course, participants will be equipped to write efficient queries, manage and transform data, and support data-driven decision-making within their organization.
Course Objectives:
In this course, you will compose SQL queries to retrieve desired information from a database, work with advanced queries to manipulate and index tables, and create transactions so that you can choose to save or cancel the data entry process. You will:
- Connect to a SQL database and execute queries
- Apply conditional logic to filter results
- Use functions to perform calculations and manipulate data
- Organize and summarize query results
- Retrieve and combine data from multiple tables
- Export query results
- Construct nested and correlated queries
- Insert, update, and delete data in tables
- Create and modify database tables and structures
- Use views to simplify data access
- Apply indexing to improve query performance
- Manage transactions to ensure data integrity
