|SQL Structured Query Language Level 1
Structured Query Language (SQL) is the programming language for managing data in relational databases. In this course, you will practice writing your own SQL queries to retrieve, summarize and even modify data, and answer questions concerning your agency’s business information. You will also discuss the theory and logic behind the language and its elements. We will use SQL Server and T-SQL (Microsoft’s SQL dialect) for class exercises, but the material is useful for anyone using other relational database systems, such as Oracle, MySQL or Access.
This course is appropriate for anyone responsible for writing queries using SQL.
