Abstract

This SQL course is designed differently than most other courses. We will not try to learn all possible sets of SQL functions; instead, we will focus our attention on the principles of how queries are built and on the basis of which operators these queries are implemented.To achieve this goal, the course is equipped with a large number of exercises that should help build those very necessary connections in our brain,so that in the future you don’t have to think too much when composing queries to databases.While taking the course, we strongly encourage you to cultivate a “growth mindset”: if you encounter any challenges,When trying to understand a new topic or doing exercises, try to transform the frustrating experience that arises into a productive one.And the most important thing about this course is to have fun!
