About the Course

In this course, you'll walk through installation steps for installing a text editor, installing MAMP or XAMPP (or equivalent) and creating a MySql Database. You'll learn about single table queries and the basic syntax of the SQL language, as well as database design with multiple tables, foreign keys, and the JOIN operation. Lastly, you'll learn to model many-to-many relationships like those needed to represent users, roles, and courses....

This short specialization is WAY BETTER than the SQL specialization by UC Davis. OMG I wasted so much time on that 2 month certification when I could have learned way more on this one. Thank you!

This gives you a basic understanding on SQL for beginners. Dr.Chuck explained so well in such a way that even a candidate with zero knowledge can understand the concepts and can complete the course.

This course is fine if you don't know anything about DB since it covers the fundmentals very lightly and the assigments are very easy not to say hand driven, It could cover more interestin topics like advanced database modeling, users and roles, triggers, how to retrieve and save special data types like pictures, video or audio and least but more important, more SQL commands.

Not a very clean cut course for a begginer. The syntax is not really taught at a slower pace. The videos are really long and not split up into specific topics. I thought the fourth assignment was the hardest but probably taught me the most. I would say it is a nice intro to SQL but you may have to take another course to really understand it.

The course was great, but the work was not hard. A lot of copy and pasting, which I understand is how most people write code. But, it's on you to understand what the code means instead of just copying it. You could pass the class with little knowledge. I wish the assignments were more challenging. The professors videos were great!

Concepts covered aren't bad but course assignment leaves much to be desired - there is basically no design or critical thinking involved, the student is asked to only replace data.

It's not just SQL , if you are coming here to learn SQL , then don't come .

But if you want to learn little but very fundamental SQL and database modelling then , you should come..

I wish there was more practise in writing SQL code. whilst I understand it is quite simple it would be useful to commit the simple commands to memory via practise questions.

For me, SQL is entirely a new thing and it will be more helpful if the course is more basics as the name suggest introduction to sql.

They should design project oriented and practical courses rather than bullshit assignments and quiz. Just like Udemy instructors do.

Too simple, compared to the other courses in Udacity and Coursera. But the discussion about rational database design is interesting.

The course is OK. However, the instructor seems to be spending less time on what's important and more time on what's not important

To be an introduction class, it is a bit fast-paced and alot at once for only four relatively quick sessions.

Feels like this course is missing crucial topics. Definitely need to supplement this with a book

Pretty good. Too much code / sql templetising. I think we could have been pushed harder.

Good overview but could be more in-depth. Assignments should also be more engaging
