Structured Query Language (SQL) is a powerful tool for managing and manipulating data in relational databases, and is an essential skill for data analysts, developers, and database administrators.
PostgreSQL is a popular open-source database management system that supports SQL, and is widely used in a range of applications, including web development and data analytics. This course is designed to provide a comprehensive introduction to Mastering SQL using Postgresql.
Through a series of lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on exercises, you will learn how to create and manage databases, write SQL queries to retrieve and manipulate data, and perform basic database administration tasks. By the end of the course, you will have a solid understanding of SQL and the ability to use PostgreSQL to manage and analyze data.
