Now that you've learned the basics of SQL in our <a href="https://learn.datacamp.com/courses/introduction-to-sql">Introduction to SQL</a> course,  it's time to supercharge your queries using joins and relational set theory. In this course, you'll learn all about the power of joining tables while exploring interesting features of countries and their cities throughout the world. You will master inner and outer joins, as well as self joins, semi joins, anti joins and cross joins—fundamental tools in any PostgreSQL wizard's toolbox. Never fear set theory again after learning all about unions, intersections, and except clauses through easy-to-understand diagrams and examples. Lastly, you'll be introduced to the challenging topic of subqueries. You will be able to visually grasp these ideas by using Venn diagrams and other linking illustrations.

Join two or three tables together into one, combine tables using set theory, and work with subqueries in PostgreSQL.

Discover all the fundamental in PostgreSQL, like inner, outer self, semi, anti, and cross joins, as well as unions, intersections, and except clauses.

Joining Data in SQL

So you've learned how to aggregate and join data from tables in your database—now what? How do you manipulate, transform, and make the most sense of your data? This intermediate-level course will teach you several key functions necessary to wrangle, filter, and categorize information in a relational database, expand your SQL toolkit, and answer complex questions. You will learn the robust use of CASE statements, subqueries, and window functions—all while discovering some interesting facts about soccer using the European Soccer Database.

Master the complex SQL queries necessary to answer a wide variety of data science questions and prepare robust data sets for analysis in PostgreSQL.

Intermediate SQL

The role of a data scientist is to turn raw data into actionable insights. Much of the world's raw data—from electronic medical records to customer transaction histories—lives in organized collections of tables called relational databases. To be an effective data scientist, you must know how to wrangle and extract data from these databases using a language called SQL . This course teaches syntax in SQL shared by many types of databases, such as PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, and Oracle. This course teaches you everything you need to know to begin working with databases today!

Master the basics of querying tables in relational databases such as MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.

Learn the basics of syntax in SQL, how to extract and wrangle data, and use querying tables in relational databases like MySQL, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.

Introduction to SQL

You have access to a database. Now what do you do? Building on your existing skills joining tables,  using basic functions, grouping data, and using subqueries, the next step in your SQL journey is  learning how to explore a database and the data in it.  Using data from Stack Overflow, Fortune 500 companies, and 311 help requests  from Evanston, IL, you'll get familiar with numeric, character, and date/time data types. You'll use  functions to aggregate, summarize, and analyze data without leaving  the database. Errors and inconsistencies in the data won't stop you!  You'll learn common problems to look for  and strategies to clean up messy data. By the end of this course, you'll be ready to start exploring your  own PostgreSQL databases and analyzing the data in them.

Learn how to explore what's available in a database: the tables, relationships between them, and data stored in them.

Learn what's available in a database in SQL, including the tables, relationships, and data stored in them so you can explore your own PostgreSQL databases.

Exploratory Data Analysis in SQL

You’ve already used SQL to query data from databases. But did you know that there's a lot more you can do with databases? You can model different phenomena in your data, as well as the relationships between them. This gives your data structure and consistency, which results in better data quality. In this course, you'll experience this firsthand by working with a real-life dataset that was used to investigate questionable university affiliations. Column by column, table by table, you'll get to unlock and admire the full potential of databases. You'll learn how to create tables and specify their relationships, as well as how to enforce data integrity. You'll also discover other unique features of database systems, such as constraints.

Learn how to create one of the most efficient ways of storing data - relational databases! 

Learn how to create tables and specify their relationships in SQL, as well as how to enforce data integrity and other unique features of database systems.

Introduction to Relational Databases in SQL

Have you heard people talk about data engineers and wonder what it is they do? Do you know what data engineers do but you're not sure how to become one yourself? This course is the perfect introduction. It touches upon all things you need to know to streamline your data processing. This introductory course will give you enough context to start exploring the world of data engineering. It's perfect for people who work at a company with several data sources and don't have a clear idea of how to use all those data sources in a scalable way. Be the first one to introduce these techniques to your company and become the company star employee.

Introduction to Data Engineering

In 2019, the average salary for data engineers overtook data scientists. How did this happen? Companies wanting to find the gold within their data realized it wasn’t possible if they hadn’t yet built the mine. Data engineers lay the foundations that make data science possible.
<br /> <br />
In this course, you’ll learn about a data engineer’s core responsibilities, how they differ from data scientists, and facilitate the flow of data through an organization. Through hands-on exercises you’ll follow Spotflix, a fictional music streaming company, to understand how their data engineers collect, clean, and catalog their data. By the end of the course, you’ll understand what your company's data engineers do, be ready to have a conversation with a data engineer, and have a solid foundation to start your own data engineer journey.


Discover how data engineers lay the groundwork that makes data science possible. No coding involved!
