With the full data analytics workflow under your belt, learn how to access databases with SQL and write basic SQL queries.

This free, 2-hour workshop gives you a foundation in databases, how they work, and when to use which SQL tool to access data. From there, you’ll get hands-on practice with basic SQL syntax, and cover more advanced features like joining, grouping, filtering, and functions.
