Mastering SQL Programming
Learn the fundamentals of sophisticated data management methods, manipulation, and querying with this all-inclusive course on SQL programming.
Course Highlights
SQL is a programming language for retrieving and managing information stored in the relational database. Our SQL course covers various SQL topics to help you start your database programming.
The SQL Programming course will take you through the fundamental SQL concepts and explain how SQL works. Here, you’ll learn about different SQL tools for data management operations and understand how to install them. Gradually, the course will take you through browsing and filtering data. You’ll understand what a database is and learn about different SQL data types and the various methods for filtering data. Again, you’ll understand how to filter data with logical operators in SQL. The course will also teach you about SQL arithmetic operators and how to concatenate strings in SQL results.
Our SQL Course will also introduce you to different SQL functions. It will teach you about nested queries, casting and data conversion, combination relationships, and SQL joins. The course will also explain DML in SQL and familiarise you with the various DML commands in SQL. Finally, you’ll find a comprehensive SQL Data Definition Language (DDL) guide.
