SQL Training (Structured Query Language)

This SQL training course will teach the student how to read and write good SQL for querying, updating and maintaining SQL Server databases.

SQL Training

The course progresses through the elements of the language to build a thorough appreciation and understanding of SQL's capabilities and power.

Our SQL Training course covers ANSI-standard SQL and some of the common extensions.

This SQL training course is made up of a mix of theory and practical sessions. You will complete a series of exercises that cover all the important components of the language and allow you to practise your SQL with the help of our expert, experienced trainers.

We also provide private and in-company SQL Training courses. Call +44 (0)1273 622272.


Course Objectives

On completion of this Structured Query Language (SQL) training course, delegates will be able to:

  • describe where the SQL language came from and its set-based mode of operation
  • write SQL statements to create and manipulate database objects and data
  • read SQL effectively
  • write queries to join many related tables
  • use the features of the language to safeguard the data and its value to the user
  • recognise the dangers inherent in the language that may return the right result but would be fatally flawed with different data
