SQL and MySQL are incredibly powerful tools for managing and analyzing relational databases, and a skill that every Analyst and Business Intelligence professional should have in the arsenal.
In this course, you’ll play the role of a business owner who just acquired Maven Movies, a brick and mortar DVD rental shop. Using only a MySQL database and MySQLWorkbench, your mission is to learn everything that you can about your new business; including your inventory, staff, and customer behavior.
But don't worry, you're not alone! We'll be right here to guide you from start to finish, sharing crystal clear explanations, MySQL pro tips and best practices, and course quizzes, projects and homework assignments to test your SQLdata analysis and database analytics skills along the way.
COURSEOUTLINE:
SQLIntro &MySQLSetup
We’ll start with a quick intro to the SQL landscape and it's common "flavors" (MySQL, SQLite, PostgreSQL, etc), then download and install the tools that we'll need to access and explore our MySQLdatabase (MySQLCommunity Server +MySQLWorkbench)
SQLDatabase Fundamentals(Part 1)
Once we have our tools installed, we'll quickly review some database fundamentals and begin to explore the 16 tables contained within our MySQLdatabase, containing information about Maven Movies customers, inventory, and transactions.
Analyzing Data from Single Tables with MySQL
In this section we'll start exploring and extracting information from individual tables in our MySQLdatabase, and practice writing SQL queries to select, filter, sort and group our data for analysis and business intelligence.
[MID-COURSEMYSQLPROJECT]
SQL Database Fundamentals (Part 2)
The second half of the course is all about anayzing data from multiple tables in MySQL, so we'll begin with a quick review of relational databases, data modeling and database analysis:primary vs. foreign keys, relationship cardinality, normalization, etc.
Analyzing Multiple Tables via MySQLJOINS
In this section, we'll review the most common types of SQLjoins (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, OUTER, etc), and explore some more complex MySQL queries to analyze data that bridges multiple tables in our database.
[FINAL MYSQLPROJECT]
IMPORTANTNOTE:This course does NOTcover building, altering, or maintaining SQL/MySQL databases. Our goal here is to focus on data exploration and database analysis using MySQL and MySQLWorkbench (we'll cover database administration tools in a separate course).
