Description

SQL and MySQL are incredibly powerful tools for managing and analyzing relational databases, and a skill that every Analyst and Business Intelligence professional should have in the arsenal.


In this course, you’ll play the role of a business owner who just acquired Maven Movies, a brick and mortar DVD rental shop. Using only a MySQL database and MySQL Workbench, your mission is to learn everything that you can about your new business; including your inventory, staff, and customer behavior.


But don't worry, you're not alone! We'll be right here to guide you from start to finish, sharing crystal clear explanations, MySQL pro tips and best practices, and course quizzes, projects and homework assignments to test your SQL and database analysis skills along the way.


COURSE OUTLINE:


  • SQL Intro & MySQL Setup

    We’ll start with a quick intro to the SQL landscape and it's common "flavors" (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc), then download and install the tools that we'll need to access and explore our MySQL database (MySQL Community Server + MySQL Workbench)


  • SQL Database Fundamentals (Part 1)

    Once we have our tools installed, we'll quickly review some database fundamentals and begin to explore the 16 tables contained within our MySQL database, containing information about Maven Movies customers, inventory, and transactions.


  • Analyzing Data from Single Tables with MySQL

    In this section we'll start exploring and extracting information from individual tables in our MySQL database, and practice writing SQL queries to select, filter, sort and group our data.


    [MID-COURSE MYSQL PROJECT]


  • SQL Database Fundamentals (Part 2)

    The second half of the course is all about anayzing data from multiple tables in MySQL, so we'll begin with a quick review of relational databases and database analysis: primary vs. foreign keys, relationship cardinality, normalization, etc.


  • Analyzing Multiple Tables via MySQL JOINS

    In this section, we'll review the most common types of SQL joins (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, OUTER, etc), and explore some more complex MySQL queries to analyze data that bridges multiple tables in our database.


    [FINAL MYSQL PROJECT]


IMPORTANT NOTE: This course does NOT cover building, altering, or maintaining SQL/MySQL databases. Our goal here is to focus on data exploration and database analysis using MySQL and MySQL Workbench (we'll cover database administration tools in a separate course).

This is NOT your run of the mill PHP MySQL course, where you just get surface level exposure to building databases and writing SQL queries. Instead of trying to cover both building databses using PHP + MySQL and SQL querying, this course stays away from building and maintenance, so that we can go really deep on analyzing data that is already in a MySQL database. We start with the basics, so even if you've never written SQL code before, this course is a good fit for aspiring Database Analysts.
