Prerequisites: No prerequisites are needed for the SQL commands and DBMS fundamentals. Basic knowledge of programming in Python would be helpful if you want to run the source code in the course-ending project.Taught by Stanford-educated, ex-Googlers. This team has decades of practical experience in quant trading, analytics and e-commerce. Your bodyguard for when data gets too big, this course is strong but friendly, funny yet deep, animated yet thoughtful.Let’s parse that.Your bodyguard for when data gets too big: Most business folks (and quite a few engineers) use Excel as a basic tool of decision making and modeling, but when you can't fit the data you'd like into an Excel spreadsheet that you can easily open, its time to move to a database.The course is strong but friendly: This course will help you move to a database without being intimidated by the new environment. Don't let anyone tell you that any dataset is too large or too complicated for you to understand (and people will try, most likely)The course is funny yet deep: It goes really deep into the topics that folks often find hard to understand, such as joins, aggregate operators and interfacing with databases from a programming language. But it never takes itself too seriously:-)The course is very visual : most of the techniques are explained with the help of animations to help you understand better.This course is practical as well : Queries are explained in excruciating detail, indices are demystified, and potentially career-limiting traps (Drop, Alter) are marked with bright yellow tape markers so you can steer clear.The course is also quirky. The examples are irreverent. Lots of little touches: repetition, zooming out so we remember the big picture, active learning with plenty of quizzes. There’s also a peppy soundtrack, and art - all shown by studies to improve cognition and recall.What's Covered:SQL In Great Depth
Database Fundamentals and Just Enough Theory

Introduction To Databases 12 lectures 02:22:22 Data Is A Big Deal Life - and business - is becoming more and more data-driven, and data-intensive. Why Do We Need A Database? As the scale of your data grows, file systems (the most famous of which is - Excel!) struggle to keep up. Databases are carefully engineered to do the heavy lifting MySQL - Installed and Introduced (Mac OS X) MySQL is an open-source RDBMS, the most popular in the world by some measures. Acquired by Oracle, it still has a very powerful free Community Edition Setting up MySQL and the Workbench (Mac OS X) Setting up MySQL and the MySQL workbench can be a little daunting - never fear! We'll walk through it. (The Mac OS X version) MySQL Server and Workbench installed (Windows) Setting up MySQL and the MySQL workbench can be a little daunting - never fear! We'll walk through it. (The windows version) Entities And Attributes - Things And Stuff Which Describe Them Databases are like all computer systems - garbage in, garbage out. To make sure that what goes in makes sense, we need to model real-world entities and the relationships between them. Identifying Entities Using Keys What's a key? It is a set of defining attributes. Once you have the key, you have captured the essence of an entity, as it were. The Entity Relationship (E-R) Model - Entities And Attributes We dig deeper into the world of entities and relationships. Relationships - What Connects Entities Entities could be modeled even with flat files, but relationships can only be modelled in a database. Cardinality Of Relationships One-to-one, one-to-many or many-to-many? The nature of the relationships between entities determines how the corresponding data will be represented in a database The Entity Relationship (E-R) Model - Relationships We are almost ready to make the leap from modeling data to setting up a database. But first, let's delve a bit deeper into modelling relationships. Mapping E-R Theory to the world of databases All of that E-R model stuff we just learnt is really useful! Let's put it to work immediately, by figuring out how we can translate E-R models into database tables.

Additional information

This course will cover generic (non-system-specific) SQL, but will also conduct exercises using 2 different database technologies: MySQL and SQLite. Installation and use of both these will be explained in-depth
