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....

I recently enrolled in the "Databases and SQL for Data Science with Python" course as part of the IBM Data Science Professional Certificate on Coursera, and I couldn't be more impressed. The course provides an excellent foundation in SQL and database management, essential skills for any aspiring data scientist. The instructors do a fantastic job of explaining complex concepts in an easy-to-understand manner. The course is well-structured, starting with the basics of relational databases and SQL syntax, and gradually advancing to more complex queries and data manipulation techniques. I especially appreciated the practical exercises and real-world examples that reinforced the learning material. One of the highlights was the use of Python to interact with databases. This integration helped bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making it easier to see how SQL fits into the broader data science workflow. The hands-on labs were invaluable, providing a safe environment to practice and solidify my understanding. The course also emphasizes best practices and efficiency in writing SQL queries, which is crucial for working with large datasets. The quizzes and assignments were challenging yet fair, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the material. Overall, this course exceeded my expectations and has equipped me with the skills needed to handle data more effectively. Whether you're new to SQL or looking to strengthen your database skills, this course is an excellent choice. I highly recommend it to anyone pursuing a career in data science or looking to expand their technical skill set.
