Database Design and Basic SQL in PostgreSQL
In this course you will learn more about the historical design of databases and the use of SQL in the PostgreSQL environment. Using SQL techniques and common commands (INSERT INTO, WHERE, ORDER BY, ON DELETE CASCADE, etc) will enable you to create tables, column types and define the schema of your data in PostgreSQL. You will learn about data modeling and how to represent one-to-many and many-to-many relationships in PostgreSQL. Students will do hands-on assignments creating tables, inserting data, designing data models, creating relational structures and inserting and querying relational data in tables.
Utilize psql and SQL commands to implement CRUD (Create, Read, Update, and Delete) operations for tables in a PostgreSQL database.
Identify and utilize the functions of primary, logical, and foreign keys within a database.
Build and differentiate between one-to-many and many-to-many relationships within PostgreSQL.
Recall key people, organizations, and innovations that were instrumental to building the SQL standard

Reviews
Excelent! I'd say the best introductory course on SQL in general. It has those important SQL basics that you really don't find elsewhere.
Fun tone but the assignments... gosh... just copying and pasting. Not much contents covered.
An awesome and great introductory course to SQL and PostgreSQL, this course had made all the complex and tedious task into fun and gamification thing.
Dr. Chuck is the best! I was waiting for this course quite a long, since 2015. To be honest, I was expecting Sqlite for everyone, but this one even better! Come with working hours to Dubai!
