SQL Fundamentals Workshop Series | September 21

Imagine that you have a spreadsheet containing every data point about your customers — their preferences, their web browsing behaviour, the products they’ve bought. What would you do with all that information? When you know SQL fundamentals, you can slice and dice that data any way you want, providing critical insights that drive business strategy.

This 2-Part SQL Course is the beginner level interactive way to get started on data analysis and handling. You will dive head first into SQL, skill up with exercises, and by the end of the day you'll write queries with confidence and distill insights from real-world data.

This workshop is for beginners. No prior knowledge or experience required.

• Describe a relational database.
• Illustrate the structure of a database using an entity relationship diagram.
• Explore the anatomy of a SQL server.
• Write queries to retrieve data from a SQL database (e.g., Microsoft SQL Server, etc.).
• Sort and segment SQL query results to generate insights.
• Combine data from multiple tables in complex queries.

• This class is taken completely online via Zoom.
• We will provide a link to the session 24 hours before & again, on the day of the class, to the email used to purchase a ticket. If you have signed up on behalf of a friend or colleague, please forward along this information.
