This Advanced SQL Programming course is designed to strengthen your expertise in managing and analyzing relational databases. You will begin with a focus on relational database concepts, including the Entity-Relationship Model and key modeling conventions. Understanding these fundamentals will prepare you for applying more complex techniques in real-world scenarios, using practical examples from the tables provided throughout the course.
From there, the course will explore essential SQL functions for grouping and aggregating data, such as the MIN and MAX functions. You'll learn how to use the GROUP BY and HAVING clauses effectively, work with nested functions, and handle null values in your queries. The course also covers various join types, allowing you to retrieve data from multiple tables, manage ambiguous column names, and create efficient queries with inner, outer, and cross joins.
In the final sections, the focus shifts to more advanced SQL topics like subqueries and set operators, as well as data manipulation and table management techniques. You'll gain hands-on experience executing subqueries, using set operators like UNION and MINUS, and managing data through DML and DDL statements. By the end, you will be fully prepared to implement advanced SQL solutions, manage database objects, and perform complex data manipulation tasks with confidence.
