Course Description
Joining data is an essential skill which enables us to draw information from separate tables together into a single, meaningful set of results. Learn to supercharge your queries using table joins and relational set theory in this course on joining data.
In this course, you’ll learn how to:
✓ Work with more than one table in SQL
✓ Use inner joins, outer joins and cross joins
✓ Leverage set theory, including unions, intersect, and except clauses
✓ Create nested queries
Every step is accompanied by exercises and opportunities to apply the theory and grow your confidence in SQL.

Subqueries
In this closing chapter, you’ll begin by investigating semi-joins and anti-joins. Next, you'll learn how to use nested queries. Last but not least, you’ll wrap up the course with some challenges!
