You’ll build a strong foundation in IT skills for development, data analysis, and database administration.
You’ll learn about different types of database systems and why relational databases remain popular.
You will also explore SQL, the standard query language used to interact with databases, and learn how to build, query, and manage data using SQL commands and database schemas.
The course guides you through designing a database structure, defining tables and relationships, and working with keys to maintain data integrity.
By the end, you should be able to plan and execute a simple database project, understand CRUD operations (create, read, update, delete), and manage data reliably.
Database Basics:
Get introduced to what a database is, different types
of databases, and understand why databases are essential for storing structured data. Learn basic database
concepts, table design, keys and relationships.
CRUD Operations with SQL:
Dive into creating tables, inserting data,
retrieving records, updating entries, and deleting data. Use SQL commands to work with real data and
understand how CRUD operations form the backbone of database work.
Sorting, Filtering, and Data Retrieval:
Learn how to filter, sort and
query data efficiently using conditions and query clauses. Understand how to use SQL operators, sorting and
filtering to get meaningful results from data.
Database Schema Design & Relationships:
Explore how to design
well-structured database schemas. Understand table relationships, primary and foreign keys, and how
normalisation helps maintain data consistency and efficiency.
Assessment / Project Module:
Apply your learning by designing a simple
database schema, writing queries to manipulate data, and managing a small database project from start to
finish. This module helps consolidate your skills through practical tasks.
Databases power almost every application and service — from web apps to enterprise software to data analytics tools. A strong understanding of databases and SQL lets you manage data effectively, build reliable backend systems, and prepare for careers in development, data analysis, database administration, or software engineering. For anyone starting out or seeking to strengthen their data-handling skills, this course provides a solid and practical foundation.
