Course overview
SQL Programming Basics was my first experience with dealing with databases and using the Structured Query Language (SQL) to retrieve information directly from the database. This course also introduced me to the idea of using the MariaDB Relational Database Management System (RDMS) to modify various tables, columns, and rows in relational example databases.
course reflection
Databases are very important because they offer easy and reliable ways to store, retrieve, and view data. In today’s age data is a very important asset that helps us obtain valuable information that can help in a variety of ways. Because data is so important we have developed systems that are able to store data and manipulate it through the use of SQL and databases.
In my mind, SQL is one of the most important languages you can learn simply because databases are everywhere and having the knowledge and understanding of how to work with them is a very important skill that will benefit me in the long run.
Chapter Queries
These queries demonstrate a few things what I learned in this course and reflect on my ability to use what I learned to create queries.
