Course details
Do you rely on IT to get the data you need? Are you often stuck waiting in line for data, and wish you could just retrieve it yourself? In this course, learn how to get the data you want by writing a bit of SQL code. You won't just be able to pull data out of the database; you'll be able to manipulate it: merging it, grouping it, and relabeling it to get just the report you want. Join Emma Saunders as she shows how to write simple SQL queries for data reporting and analysis using a publicly accessible online database. Learn how to filter, group, and sort data, using built-in SQL functions to format or calculate results. Discover how to perform more complex queries, such as joining data together from different database tables. Last but not least, she introduces views, procedures, functions, and variables.

Skills covered in this course
Don't let your reporting system hold you back
- [Emma] If your reporting system is holding you back, SQL could help. This course will teach you to access data directly from your database, merging tables, and reporting exactly the data that you want. It's much quicker than downloading it and then manipulating in Excel or Access. SQL can also be used in the Advanced settings of many reporting systems. Luckily, it's intuitive, even for non-programmers. My name is Emma Saunders, and I've worked with data and databases for more than 20 years. I'm going to teach you the SQL you need to build reports, including grouping, filtering, and analyzing. So let's get reporting.
