Databases are a requirement for virtually all organizations as a way of storing information digitally, with SQL employed as the main programming language to communicate with and manipulate those databases.

In this course, you will discover how datasets can be explored and manipulated using SQL. You will go from exploring what SQL is and writing your first query to understanding how to produce categorically targeted summary statistics from a largedatabase. Along the way, you will explore a large dataset, filter and group data based on categorical and conditional preferences, and order that data, thereby yielding valuable insights and exemplifying best practices to bring back to your role.
