We live in an age of data abundance. Vast amounts of data are being collected and analyzed to inform decision-making. Introductory knowledge of SQL database systems is a requirement for most business management roles. The objectives of this course are firstly, to build from scratch your ability to write SQL code in order to retrieve, clean, and organize datasets stored in databases, and secondly, to expose you to different kinds of business datasets and potential uses. In other words, this is a unique SQL course targeted at business students. Students with a good programming background should not take this course.
