About the course

There are so many SQL courses to choose from, but how many really teach you the nitty gritty of how SQL works under-the-hood?  Why is this important? 
If you understand how SQL is processed, you can: 
•better answer difficult interview questions
•increase your productivity and get that promotion
•not spend hours or days troubleshooting your queries, only to copy and paste an untested solution online
Learn how to write SQL properly by “thinking like a relational database”:
•Learn ISO/IEC/ANSI SQL Standard
•Learn logical ordering of how SQL is processed
•Illustrations solidify mental models that help you master complex queries
•Understand the correct way to use joins
•Learn how nulls are handled across each concept
•Fully comprehend how group by works
•12 in-depth quiz/solution videos
•No software downloading required – you can even do our course on an iPad or your work computer!
Besides covering a broad range of topics, my approach to teaching SQL is radically different from many other courses. Instead of taking a cookbook approach, this course teaches you how to “think like a database,” meaning understanding the logical ordering of how SQL statements are processed. This is crucial to understanding how to formulate your queries correctly to get the expected results.
While most courses focus on a database specific SQL, this course is focused on the ISO/IEC SQL standard. The benefit of this is that you can apply what you’ve learned in this course to almost any database you need to use or if you switch jobs. I use PostgreSQL because it’s open source and most closely follows the standard.
Check out the curriculum and I hope to see you in the course.
