Course Info:
SQL is the cornerstone of all relational database operations. In this hands-on course, you’ll learn how to employ the full potential of the SELECT statement to write robust queries using the best query method for your application. You’ll also test your queries and learn to avoid common errors and pitfalls. It also teaches alternative solutions to given problems, enabling you to select the most efficient solution in each situation.

The course describes the ANSI/ISO SQL standard, but also identifies deviations from the standard in the two most widely used database products, Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server.
