If you’re looking to develop practical, real-world data analytics & business intelligence skills and learn the foundations of database administration(DBA) and analysis, you’ve come to the right place.
This course is unlike anything you’ve seen before, guaranteed. We'll start from the ground up, teaching you the tools to get the job done, and most importantly how to you apply your skills to real projects and learn how to truly think like a Database Administrator.
You’ll be playing the role of a Database Administration Consultant for Maven Consulting, a firm that helps businesses create, maintain, and optimize their databases. Throughout the course, you’ll be working directly with the owners of various companies to help them manage data in their new and scaling enterprises. You will use the skills you learn to complete actual projects that database administration professionals work on every day.
COURSEOUTLINE:
SQLIntro &MySQLSetup
For students who haven't completed one of our other SQL courses, we'll demonstrate exactly how to download and install the tools that we'll need to access MySQL, including MySQLCommunity Server &MySQLWorkbench. We'll share download guides for both Mac & PC, and run our first piece of SQLcode to generate the project database that we'll analyze throughout the course.
Creating, Altering, and Deleting Schemas & Tables
In this section we'll learn how to create schemas and tables using SQLcode and with the Workbench UItools. Then, we will learn how to alter tables by adding and removing columns. Finally, we will walk through dropping schemas and tables (be careful with this one).
Inserting, Updating, and Deleting Records
After we get up to speed creating and altering tables, we will learn how to populate those tables with records of data, and update and delete records as needed.
Database Design
Now that we have covered the basic mechanics, we will learn how tables relate to one another optimally, and discuss best practices for database design. We will explore the EER Diagram Editor, and you will have some opportunities to create your own database models.
***MID-COURSEPROJECT: Normalize this database for your client!Advanced Concepts
In this section, we will get into concepts like adding an index to a column, imposing constraints, and creating stored procedures and triggers. This is powerful stuff!Server &User Management
In our last section before the Final Project, we will learn how to monitor servers to make sure they are running, and how to restart them when needed. You will also get your hands on user management tools to assign roles and manage permissions, just like a real DBA.***FINALCOURSEPROJECT: Design and build an entire database from scratch!
IMPORTANTNOTE:This course does NOTcover data exploration and database analysis. Our goal here is to focus on building, altering, and maintaining SQL/MySQL databases using MySQL and MySQLWorkbench (we cover data analysis in-depth in separate courses).

"This is an excellent advanced course! I've taken multiple SQL courses from Maven Analytics and recommend them all. The best part of this course is the detail they included by building a real world e-commerce database. It's much easier to grasp the concepts when you can see how they're literally applied to scenarios and outcomes as opposed to just theory. Great work!"
- Dan S.
"John's deep understanding of SQL and database analysis and ability to explain those tools is really unmatched. I've taken other SQL and MySQLcourses and tried reading books, but this course is by far the most effective. Excited to see more courses from John!"
