Introduction to SQL

You began with an introduction to the course. You explored possible career roles
that you can follow as a database engineer. You then received an introduction to
SQL, or Standard Query Language and the coding syntax used to interact with
databases. Next, you explored the basic structure of databases and learned about
the different types of keys they use.

SQL data types


You then explored SQL data types and learned to differentiate between numeric data,
string data and default values. You also completed several exercises in which you
learned how to utilize these different data types in your database projects.

Create, Read, Update and Delete operations


You then explored CRUD, or Create, Read, Update and Delete operations. You learned
how to create databases and tables and populate them with data. You studied how to
update and delete data. And you demonstrated your ability with CRUD operations by
completing exercises in which you created and managed data.

SQL operators
Next, you reviewed SQL operators and learned how to sort and filter data. You
received a lesson on SQL operators in which you explored the syntax and process
steps to deploy SQL arithmetic and comparison operators within a database.

Sort and filter data using clauses


You then learned how to sort and filter data using clauses. The clauses you learned
about included ORDER BY, WHERE and SELECT DISTINCT. You got an overview of how each
clause is used to sort and filter data in a database. You watched several
demonstrations of these clauses and had an opportunity to try them for yourself.

Database and relational database design


You also learned about database design, which included an overview of how to design
a database schema. You explored basic database design concepts like schema and
learned about different types of schemas.

In addition, you focused on relational database design. You investigated how to


establish relationships between tables in a database using keys. You also learned
about the types of keys used in relational database design, such as primary,
secondary, candidate and foreign keys.

Database normalization
Finally, you covered the concept of database normalization. In this lesson, you
investigated the critical concepts around database normalization, which included
the idea of "normal form," including first, second, and third normal forms.

Now that you've recapped what you've learned in the previous course, it's time to
start with Database Structures and Management with MySQL!
