The course SQL Fundamentals is aimed at a wide audience of system administrators, end users of Office applications and novice programmers who want to access relational databases efficiently by using queries in Structured Query Language (SQL).
To be able to participate in this course some familiarity with database systems is beneficial for the understanding.
The theory is treated on the basis of presentations. Demos are used to clarify the theory. There is ample opportunity to practice. The course times are from 9.30 to 16.30.
Participants receive an official certificate SQL Fundamentals after successful completion of the course.
In the course SQL Fundamentals participants learn the generic ANSI SQL standard that is applicable in all database systems. SQL or Structured Query Language is an ANSI/ISO standard language for relational database management systems (DBMS). SQL is used for querying and modifying data in relational databases such as Oracle, MySQL, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, DB2, Informix, PostgreSQL and more. Almost every DBMS has added its own extra functions to standard SQL. In the course SQL Fundamentals participants learn to extract data from a database, to analyze it and to make reports with this data. The participants learn the structure of relational databases with tables and their relationships. Attention is paid to practical skills to write SELECT queries and UPDATE Queries. You will also learn about foreign key relationships between tables and how JOIN queries can be used to retrieve data from related tables.
All our courses are classroom courses in which the students are guided through the material on the basis of an experienced trainer with in-depth material knowledge. Theory is always interspersed with exercises.
We also do custom classes and then adjust the course content to your wishes. On request we will also discuss your practical cases.
The course times are from 9.30 to 16.30. But we are flexible in this. Sometimes people have to bring children to the daycare and other times are more convenient for them. In good consultation we can then agree on different course times.
We take care of the computers on which the course can be held. The software required for the course has already been installed on these computers. You do not have to bring a laptop to participate in the course. If you prefer to work on your own laptop, you can take it with you if you wish. The required software is then installed at the start of the course.
Our courses are generally given with Open Source software such as Eclipse, IntelliJ, Tomcat, Pycharm, Anaconda and Netbeans. You will receive the digital course material to take home after the course.
The course includes lunch that we use in a restaurant within walking distance of the course room.
The courses are planned at various places in the country. A course takes place at a location if at least 3 people register for that location. If there are registrations for different locations, the course will take place at our main location, Houten which is just below Utrecht. A course at our main location also takes place with 2 registrations and regularly with 1 registration. And we also do courses at the customer’s location if they appreciate that.
