SQL Training

SQL Training Course Description

You have access to company databases and your job may require you to retrieve data from those databases. Retrieval of information from a database is dependent on precisely ordered logic and specific information. This course will help you to use Structured Query Language (SQL) as a tool to implement that logic and define instructions.

Course Objective: You will learn how to compose SQL queries to retrieve information from the database.

SQL Training: Performance-Based Objectives

Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

  • connect to the SQL Server database and execute a simple query.
  • include a search condition in a simple query.
  • use various functions based on the data types to perform calculations on data.
  • organize the data obtained from the query before it is displayed on the screen.
  • retrieve data by combining information from multiple tables.
  • format the output, save the result, and generate a report.
