Description
Learning SQL can be a challenge. And if you’re like me then you want to learn in an environment that allows you to learn by doing. In fact, I believe this is the best way to learn. Many academic studies have shown that retention and learning is significantly increased by attempting, trying, and even failing. The structure of this course challenges you while giving you the support you need to learn.

This course literally includes 25 Practice SQL Questions! In fact, majority of questions include multiple parts. Including those multiple parts students get access to 80 practice questions. This gives individuals ample opportunity to learn. Whether you’re preparing for an interviewing, refreshing on SQL concepts, or just wanting to learn this course will help you.

The instructional level is listed as “Beginner Level.” However, those taking this course do need to have some understanding of SQL. This course is not an introductory course. You will learn by attempting the question, using a hint if needed, then watching the video explanation. Video explanations are provided to show students how to answer the question; however, each question has multiple answers. The instructor simply shows students how he would answer the question.

Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) will be the database management system used in the course. All the questions in the course are answered using the Microsoft Sample database, Pubs. The syntax used in SSMS is T-SQL. T-SQL is similar to syntax used in MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Snowflake, MariaDB, etc., however, Microsoft SQL Server will be needed to load the Pubs database.
