Unlock the Power of SQL with AI
This beginner-friendly course introduces you to SQL through the lens of AI. Designed for learners who want to gain confidence querying databases and prompting AI, the course starts with the foundational SELECT and FROM statements. It gradually builds to more complex operations such as counting and identifying unique values. You'll learn how to write effective prompts that instruct AI assistants to generate accurate SQL queries, and you'll develop the skills to interpret and refine those results while understanding the limitations around using AI for SQL. You'll strengthen your understanding of SQL syntax through practical exercises and learn when and how to intervene in the AI-assisted coding process.Build Practical Skills for Data Exploration
Across three structured chapters, you'll develop a well-rounded understanding of SQL and prompting. First, you'll explore how databases are structured and practice writing your initial prompts to retrieve data using AI. Next, you'll dive deeper into query construction by identifying data types, naming fields, using aliases, and applying result limits. You'll also gain insight into how SQL syntax can vary across systems. In the final chapter, you'll combine functions like COUNT and DISTINCT with strong prompting techniques, and you'll learn to explore datasets and ask and answer business questions more effectively. By the end of the course, you'll be equipped to work with data confidently using SQL and AI as a collaborative tool.Prerequisites
