In this 5-day SQL basics to advanced bootcamp training, students come prepared to learn the Structured Query Language (SQL) across multiple database platforms in this fast paced and hands-on course.

The training begins with a discussion of relational concepts and terminology and quickly moves into a very practical discussion of data retrieval and manipulation using SQL. Each topic is reinforced with hands-on workshops. Examples and workshops are provided for multiple platforms such as Microsoft SQL Server, Azure SQL, Oracle Database and PostgreSQL. Differences between the RDBMSs are highlighted throughout the material and especially the SQL workshops. After the first three days, students will have the ability to code queries involving simple to intermediate complexity.

The last two days are more advanced and take you to the next level to become a power user. Whether you are being asked to solve complicated problems with SQL or you need to read and understand complex SQL that is already written, this course is for you. Come prepared to master the Structured Query Language (SQL) across multiple database platforms in this fast paced and hands-on course. We begin with a review of joins and move quickly to more complex operations involving set processing, advanced grouping, table expressions, recursion and more.

Testimonials

The trainers clear and obvious enthusiasm for number crunching, analytics, and teaching others is infectious. He doesn’t waste time, shows exactly what you need to know and is genuinely hilarious.

Every one of my employees had tons of positive stuff to say.

- Benjamin G, MXSG Analysis and Integration Chief, US Air Force

Thoroughly enjoyed the training. The trainer was fantastic! It is rare but always an awesome experience when a trainer is also an experienced practioner with a breadth of knowledge and hands on experience… even well beyond the subject matter at hand. I had the feeling that the trainer could have answered in detail any question we might have had related to not only BDM but Hadoop and other relevant big data topics as well. Time well spent and I hope to encounter Tomi again.
