SQL is the standard query language to work and deal with relational databases. Relational databases manage data in tables (or relations), which makes them efficient and flexible to store and access structured information. Entity-Relationship (ER) modeling help us to collect and visualize the requirements of the database to create an optimized database. This course will introduce students to SQL, its capabilities and functionalities, and how to create an ER diagram and how to use it to create a relational database. Besides, the students will get introduced to the MySQL database management system to manage, control, and query the data stored in the relational databases using SQL language. Apart from the intuitions, the student will get familiar with lots of SQL commands that needs to know as an aspiring Data Scientist or Data Analyst. After passing this course, the student will be prepared to enter the fantastic world of data analysis towards amazing job positions in the industry.
