  • Select the correct SQL query technique according to the situation and generate optimized queries
  • Key functions to organize, filter and categorize information in a relational database
  • Selected practical projects and programming exercises in the Jupyter Notebook
  • Advanced knowledge of views, CTEs, subqueries and window functions

Target audience

The advanced training is designed for anyone who wants to learn SQL quickly and practically, apply the expertise and thus improve their IT skills. The course is also suitable for people who want to pursue a career in the IT or tech industry or become Data Scientist or Business Intelligence Consultants.

Requirements for participation

No prior or programming knowledge is required for the training.

Modules

1
Introduction to relational databases
toggle

The first chapter introduces you to the topic of databases. You will learn what databases are, where they are used, and why. You will understand how relational databases are constructed and familiarize yourself with their advantages and disadvantages. You will delve deeper into ER diagrams (Entity Relationship Model) and learn how to read them. You will build your knowledge around the most important SQL terms and locate SQL as the language to communicate with relational databases. You will get an overview of how this interaction works and what SQL can do.

2
Deepening SQL

In the second chapter, you will learn how to write SQL queries and read relational databases to extract company-relevant information. You will distinguish between data formats and learn about Boolean logic and filter tables with Boolean operators. In the first practical project, you will apply the previous learning content and build a toolkit to filter, group, sort, and join data.

3
Database design specialization

In the third chapter, you will focus on advanced SQL concepts and techniques and how to use them to overcome limitations of basic SQL queries. This includes 4 concepts for reusing query results: subqueries, views, Common Table Expressions (CTEs), and table creation. In multiple use cases, you will learn advanced filtering and joining methods using nested SQL queries. Additionally, you will learn how to accelerate your queries (indexes) and apply all the learning content taught so far in the second practical project.

4
SQL in practice
toggle

The final chapter focuses on the practical project. You will analyze a completely new database independently - from the first exploration to the last query. For this, we teach you two more important concepts that often come up in everyday work with SQL: you will learn how to optimally use arithmetic with SQL and how to calculate with SELECT. You also build up in-depth knowledge of analytical functions to create ranking lists or calculate running totals over longer periods of time. To do so, you determine statistical parameters such as correlations, standard deviations, and medians, create window functions, and learn to control various SQL dialects.
