SQL Relation Databases Training

What is SQL ?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for querying and managing data in relational databases. You use it to efficiently analyze, filter and structure large amounts of data - an essential skill for data-driven tasks.

Who is SQL training suitable for?

For anyone who wants to use SQL to query and analyze data from relational databases. The use of SQL is a sought-after skill for the future that opens up new perspectives in the data-driven job market and is relevant for a variety of tools and processes.

For which professional groups is the training relevant?

Relevant for anyone who works with data or wants to control data-based processes in the future - especially in business, technology, administration and research.

  • Analyze data with SQL and create reports as a BI Analyst
  • Perform complex data queries as a Reporting Specialist
  • Performing financial database analyses as a controller
  • Checking data bases as a project manager with SQL

In this training you will learn:

SQL
Database design
Backend & Performance
  • What? You'll write queries using filters, groupings, joins, and subqueries; learn about normalization and database design; and discover how databases are used in backend web development and how to optimize queries.
  • What for? So you can efficiently retrieve data from databases and design databases for applications in a structured way.
  • Practice: You will work on four practical projects and, as part of your final project, independently analyze an unknown database.

Chapter 1: Introduction to relational databases

The first chapter introduces you to the topic of databases. You will learn what databases are and where they are used and why. You will understand how relational databases are structured and know their advantages and disadvantages.

You will learn how to independently write SQL queries to read relational databases and extract company-relevant information. In the first practical project, you will apply the previous learning content and filter the data using Boolean logic.

<p

Chapter 2: In-depth SQL

In the second chapter, you will refine both your theoretical and practical knowledge. You will learn how to group and sort data with your queries and connect it with different joins. You will also get to know subqueries, which open up new filter options. You can consolidate everything again in the second practical project.

Chapter 3: In-depth database design

In the third chapter, you will focus on the structure of relational databases. To better understand their structure, you will dive into database design yourself and learn about the normalization rules.

In order to put your knowledge into practice, you will learn how to create or modify tables and data. In the third intermediate project, you will design a database yourself and put your design into practice.

Chapter 4: SQL in practice

In a final project, you will independently analyze an unknown database from exploration to complex queries and consolidate all the SQL techniques you have learned. In addition, you will get an overview of how you can use SQL in practice after the training and which tools are available to you for this.

<p

Option 1: Focus on analytics
You will learn how to use Common Table Expressions (CTEs) to keep track of even complex queries. You will also build up in-depth knowledge of analytical functions to create ranked lists or calculate running totals over longer periods of time.</p

Option 2: Focus on backend (Python Programmer training program)
You will learn how databases interact with web applications and what role SQL plays in web development. You will also gain in-depth knowledge about optimizing the performance of SQL queries.</p
