Course details
In this hands-on course, learn the fundamental concepts underlying database system design, including not only the design of applications using databases, but also covering the fundamental implementation techniques used in database systems. Instructor Brandeis Marshall takes you through a practical application of database design, database implementation, and data querying to determine when SQL querying is more appropriate. Learn how to develop effective SQL queries and leverage SQL as part of your responsible/ethical data practices. Brandeis takes you through the full arc of a database project, and finishes the course with a project that lets you apply all you’ve learned.
