Download Course OutlineSummary:
This course will teach the student how to read and write good SQL for querying, updating and maintaining SQL databases. The course progresses through the elements of the language to build a thorough appreciation and understanding of SQL's capabilities and power.
PreRequisites:
- Anyone wishing to use SQL to access data. This course is a common prerequisite for those going on our client/server or database courses.
- A degree of computer literacy is needed. Typically delegate skills will include a working familiarity with the Windows graphical environment but no prior knowledge of SQL. The most successful students on this course are those who can type accurately and consistently, and can cope with 'syntax' as SQL is a syntactically 'fussy' language. Typically delegates will have coded in some other language but it is not necessary to have done so to be successful on this course. The range of exercises allows students to work at the most approriate pace for them.
Objectives:
- describe where the SQL language came from and its set-based mode of operation
- write SQL statements to create and manipulate database objects and data
- read SQL effectively
- write queries to join many related tables
- use the features of the language to safeguard the data and its value to the user
- recognise the dangers inherent in the language that may return the right result but would be fatally flawed with different data

"Possible change the course to a 2.5day course - a lot to cram into two days and the half could, if nothing else, be used to review what has been learned"
"This course is a great introduction to SQL, helps you understand what do we need it for, and how to use it to extract data more efficiently. However, if you have a good basis of SQL already, I would recommend something more advanced (PL/SQL)."
