SQL Fundamentals

Purpose

The most used database language worldwide is SQL (Structured Query Language). It is commonly used to build queries and modify data by numerous database systems. Because SQL is universal and interoperable with most database systems, it is used widely and professionals who hold SQL certifications are highly regarded by enterprises.

Participants in this SQL training course will learn the fundamentals of SQL and develop an understanding of relational databases’ core concepts. The participants will leave this course with a solid understanding of key querying language ideas and the ability to use what they have learned right away within their respective businesses.

Participants will complete assignments and exercises throughout the training session to ensure that they gain a practical understanding of SQL’s fundamental features. After completing the course, participants will be able to select, organize, insert, delete, and examine data in a database with ease using SQL. Additionally, they will be knowledgeable about the fundamental capabilities of SQL, including conversions, SQL syntax, and dates, as well as some more complex SQL statements.

Attendees will be able to use SQL to carry out daily chores and queries, but they won’t be experts (if this is what you’re want, check out our Advanced SQL training course).
