- Retrieving Multiple ColumnsPreview
- Retrieving All ColumnsPreview
- Retrieving Distinct RowsPreview
- Limiting ResultsPreview
- Challenge: Find the Population of the CountriesPreview
- Challenge: Find All CountriesPreview
- Challenge: Find All Countries With Their IDsPreview
- Challenge: Find Country CapitalsPreview
- Challenge: Find the Regions in Which All Countries Are LocatedPreview
In this section, we’ll explore how to organize and prioritize the data returned by a query using the ORDER BY clause. Placed at the end of a SELECT statement, this clause lets you sort your results by one or multiple columns, either in ascending or descending order, enabling more meaningful and easily interpretable data output.
- Sorting DataPreview
- Challenge: Population SortPreview
- Sorting by Multiple ColumnsPreview
- Challenge: Dual-Sort QueryPreview
- Specifying Sort DirectionPreview
- Challenge: Sort the Countries by Region and CapitalPreview
- Challenge: Sort Capitals in Descending OrderPreview
- Challenge: Sort Countries in Ascending OrderPreview
- Challenge: Find Countries, Their IDs, and Their PopulationsPreview
- Challenge: Find Countries, IDs, Populations, Regions, and Sort ThemPreview
- Challenge: Find All Continents and Sort Them in Ascending OrderPreview
In this section, we will learn how to filter returned data using the SELECT statement's WHERE clause. We will learn how to test for equality, inequality, more and less significant than value ranges, and NULL values.
In this section, we’ll explore how to refine your search conditions by combining WHERE clauses with the AND and OR operators. We’ll also cover how the NOT operator can be used to exclude certain results.
In this section, we will learn what the SQL aggregate functions are and how to use them to summarize table data.
Module 2 / Intermediate SQL
In this section, you will learn how to group and manage data effectively. We will introduce the GROUP BY operator for grouping data. Additionally, you will learn how to filter grouped data using the HAVING operator.
You will learn about nested subqueries, how to create them, and how to use them effectively.
Here, you will learn how to combine multiple tables, allowing you to work with a unified table and simplify query creation.
Learn the fundamentals of Data Definition Language (DDL) and Data Manipulation Language (DML) in SQL, including how to create, modify, and delete database objects, as well as how to insert, update, and delete data within tables.
Module 3 / Relational Database and Normalization
This section dives into the world of relational and non-relational databases, teaching you how to visually represent database structures.
We'll dive deep into relational databases, giving you a thorough understanding of essential concepts. This includes topics like foreign keys, various ON DELETE options, and the different types of relationships.
Ready to build a database? This section will hone your skills, emphasizing the importance of a well-structured database for peak performance. Here, you'll grasp the fundamental principles of crafting user-friendly databases.
Module 4 / Advanced Techniques in SQL
Now we explore the basic principles of ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) in database management. Learn how these principles ensure reliable transactions by guaranteeing complete operations, keeping data consistent, isolating concurrent transactions, and ensuring permanent data storage.
Explore how to enhance the efficiency of your SQL queries through index optimization. Delve into the significance of indexes in database performance, learning how to design, implement, and utilize them effectively. Discover strategies for choosing the appropriate indexes, understanding their impact on query execution plans, and optimizing query performance through index selection and utilization.
This section explores pivotal topics such as Triggers, Window Functions, and DCL (Data Control Language), offering comprehensive insights into their implementation and optimization strategies. Furthermore, it navigates the landscape of NoSQL DBMS, providing a thorough understanding of its architecture, advantages, and practical applications.
