About this Course

In SQL Basics, we’ll take a look at what databases are and how you can retrieve information from them. Databases can store massive amounts of information to be retrieved at a later date. Databases act as the memory for dynamic web sites or mobile apps.

What you'll learn

  • Write SELECT statement to query data from a relational database
  • Select specific columns
  • Searching tables using `WHERE`
  • Filter by comparing values
