About the Course

Working knowledge of SQL (or Structured Query Language) is a must for data professionals like Data Scientists, Data Analysts and Data Engineers. Much of the world's data resides in databases. SQL is a powerful language used for communicating with and extracting data from databases. In this course you will learn SQL inside out- from the very basics of Select statements to advanced concepts like JOINs. You will: -write foundational SQL statements like: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE -filter result sets, use WHERE, COUNT, DISTINCT, and LIMIT clauses -differentiate between DML & DDL -CREATE, ALTER, DROP and load tables -use string patterns and ranges; ORDER and GROUP result sets, and built-in database functions -build sub-queries and query data from multiple tables -access databases as a data scientist using Jupyter notebooks with SQL and Python -work with advanced concepts like Stored Procedures, Views, ACID Transactions, Inner & Outer JOINs through hands-on labs and projects You will practice building SQL queries, work with real databases on the Cloud, and use real data science tools. In the final project you’ll analyze multiple real-world datasets to demonstrate your skills....

The final assignment lab using the Jupyter Notebook did not work/load.

It was also hard to see the screenshots of the SQL query and results for the final assignment.

I learn't more about querying databases and creating connection between data base and python using jupter notebook, and one intresting thing i learn is the SQL magic

The overall content is good. The exercises were not as varied as expected to my personal opinion. However, the different ways to practice are great skill generators

Course was great but RDBS in browser was so slow that i need to wait for couple of minutes to create a table. Thankfully, doing the same in python took few seconds

Tough start, really boring material and I hoped I never needed to work with SQL. Later though it started to click a bit better and was (slightly) more enjoyable.

This course is best for beginners to get started with the database and sql with ibm cloud. But the content can be improved more as the assignments is concerned.

Challenging course for a beginner like me but multiple pieces of code that I encountered weren't explained at all., for instance : index=False, method='multi'.

The Documents and materials provided for the course are epic. I will recommend every beginner on SQL and Postgres to take this course to enhance proficiency.

Teaches pretty well for people like me that had none previous knowledge in SQL.

I think that could tell a little bit more about SQL outside the IBM platform.

Lo de adjuntar las respuestas con imagenes jpg, no me gusto mucho, es incomodo, existen muchas otras formas de hacerlo, por ejemplo con Juppyter Notebooks

Great course for beginners. I particularly enjoyed the last quiz that was directly linked to the practical assignment, could be done more often like that.

I feel the videos could be more explanatory and should explain some of the concepts a bit more in details. Rest everything was good especially the labs.

Good course, the IBM Cloud SQL DB2 interaction with my python notebook was not ready for prime time , however the concepts in the course were excellent

I personally already knew a lot of what was covered, but I can also say that they did a great job of explaining SQL for someone who has never used it.

It was really hard for me to connect with IBM db 2 cloud and interface jupyter notebook but by using sqlite db browser i complted the assignment.

Very informative and learned a lot. Some of the assignment expects grading in certainway only even though answer can be logically correct otherwise.

Troubling loading the crime.csv dataset and there was no much support from the team. One has to search a series of options which wasted a lot of time

the line fir writing code in jypiter notebook were limited to one line,

therefor writing code especially in the final assignment was a bit complicated

Very useful hands-on labs looking at real-world data sets. Some of the learning material seemed overly complicated, or I would have given 5 stars.

Excellent course for a beginner to learn in detail if we put a little extra effort, as well as experienced person to learn to work on real data.

Very good for SQL with python. However it could use more interactive testing like the UCDavis program where you can apply the skills more often.

I wish the labs related more to the content, but the courses themselves are easy to follow and are recursive in nature like the code they teach

It is a great experience after all to learn extracting data from multiple tables with subquery & implicit join.

This is definitely something new.
