01What is SQL
What is SQL? In plain words.
SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for working with relational databases. With it you create databases and tables, insert and update records, control who can access data, and write queries that filter, sort, join and summarise information. This course uses Microsoft SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), but the core SQL you learn carries over to MySQL, PostgreSQL and Oracle with only small differences.
Almost every business application – banking, billing, hospital records, e-commerce, ERP – keeps its data in a relational database. Developers use SQL to build and connect applications, testers use it to check data, and data analysts use it every day to pull the numbers behind reports and dashboards. That is why SQL appears in job descriptions for software developers, data analysts, report developers and support engineers alike.
Students from the many engineering and arts colleges around Vellore and Katpadi regularly apply to IT and analytics firms in Chennai and Bengaluru, where SQL is tested in interviews. Hospitals and businesses in the region also need staff who can manage and report on data.
What you will be able to do
- Explain databases, tables, records and how relational databases differ from NoSQL
- Install SQL Server and write queries in SQL Server Management Studio
- Choose suitable numeric, date, string, Unicode and binary data types
- Create, alter, rename, truncate and drop databases, tables and columns
- Insert, update, delete and retrieve data with DML statements
- Grant and revoke permissions with DCL commands
- Use aggregate, string, date and scalar functions with WHERE, ORDER BY and UNION
- Write subqueries, inner and outer joins, views, indexes and transactions
