About the Course

Much of the world's data resides in databases. SQL (or Structured Query Language) is a powerful language which is used for communicating with and extracting data from databases. A working knowledge of databases and SQL is a must if you want to become a data scientist. The purpose of this course is to introduce relational database concepts and help you learn and apply foundational knowledge of the SQL and R languages. It is also intended to get you started with performing SQL access in a data science environment. The emphasis in this course is on hands-on and practical learning. As such, you will work with real databases, real data science tools, and real-world datasets. You will create a database instance in the cloud. Through a series of hands-on labs, you will practice building and running SQL queries. You will also learn how to access databases from Jupyter notebooks using SQL and R. No prior knowledge of databases, SQL, R, or programming is required. Anyone can audit this course at no charge. If you choose to take this course and earn the Coursera course certificate, you can also earn an IBM digital badge upon successful completion of the course....

It was a good course, I see that they changed some things from the comments, such as having cheat sheets for remembering the code. It was a good base for SQL and for working in RStudio.

I felt like a whole lot of functions with R were being introduced all at once. A little overwhelming for someone with not lot of coding background but great regardless.

Pas assez d'assistance pour la connexion à la BDD en ligne pour le test final. Il faudrait plus de ressources et de conseils.

I was really looking forward to finally learning SQL, but this was one of my worst experiences with Coursera. It appears to me that IBM has multiple objectives with this course which increases complexity for the learner, and obscures what should be the actual content of the course. I spent much more time trying to figure out how to get through the different environments, than learning and practising SQL. Given that I don't need any more degrees, it would have been - in hindsight - much more productive to read a book on SQL and complement it through discussions with a ChatBot. I only finished it because I hate giving something up that I have started.

I have problem while accessing IBM cloud I had written to the service center many times but the problem still exist. I would say this course is totally wasted my time. I am rating is "One Star just to submit my review Only" otherwise this does not event deserve one star. Thanks.
