Writing Advanced SQL Queries Training
Level: Advanced
Rating:
4.72/5 Based on 265 Reviews
SQL is the cornerstone of all relational database operations. With this training, you learn to exploit the full potential of the SELECT statement to write robust queries using the best query method for your application, test your queries, and avoid common errors and pitfalls. It also teaches alternative solutions to given problems, enabling you to choose the most efficient solution in each situation.
The SQL language is an ANSI/ISO standard language used by all relational database products. This training describes the standard language, but also identifies deviations from the standard in two widely-used database products: Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server. For the hands-on exercises, the lab environment allows the students to choose between working with the PostgreSQL database product or Microsoft SQL Server.
