What’s Inside SQL Simplified
Module 1

- Instructions on how to download and setup the database software and SQL editors, so you can follow along with this course.
- Write your very first SQL statement to create a table: and then add data to it, and view this data.
Module 2
View the Data You Want
Once you've created your table and added some data, you'll want to see what's inside.
In this module, you'll learn how to filter your results to only show the rows that you want to see.
Module Highlights:
- An introduction of the WHERE clause and what it is for
- How to show unique rows in your results, so you don't see duplicate records.
- How to show your results in a specific order
- How to filter your results on a range of values, or partial text values, to give you the flexibility based on your requirements
Module 3
Work with Multiple Tables
Databases work well with many tables, so you'll need to know how to write SQL that looks at multiple tables as well.
In this module, you'll create multiple tables, link them together, and write SELECT queries to view data from them.
Module Highlights:
- How and why to create multiple tables and relate them together: the core concept of a database
- An explanation of primary keys and foreign keys and how to use them, to improve the quality of your data
- How to understand and use joins in an easy and effective way to combine multiple tables in a single query

In this module, you'll learn about functions and grouping and how they can help your queries.
Module Highlights:
- Learn what functions are, why use them, and see many examples of functions in SQL queries.
- The power and simplicity of aggregate functions
- How, and why, to group your data in your query results.
- How to use conditional logic in SQL (like an IF statement)
Module 5
Take Your SQL to the Next Level
You've learned the basics. Now it's time to learn some more features that are helpful in the "real world" and can really improve your queries.
Module Highlights:
- How to use Common Table Expressions (CTEs), so you can improve the readability and performance of your query.
- A feature to simplify your queries and add security.
- How to use window functions to get the results you need in a single query

I can’t wait for you to join SQL Simplified
I created this course because SQL is the most important skill in the software world (in my opinion), and I believe many people can improve their careers by learning SQL.
So much of the material out there is hard to follow, moves too quickly, and goes into more detail than you need to know.
As someone who is currently working with data, or wants to work with data, SQL is a fundamental skill to learn. It's been around for 40+ years, and is unlikely to go anywhere.
Knowing how to read and write SQL will serve you for years to come.
All it takes is a small investment in your education, and practicing the skills and techniques highlighted in the course.
You're in the right place, and this is the course for you.
There's no risk to joining, with my 30-day money back guarantee.
I hope to see you inside.
