    About the Course

    In this course you will learn more about the historical design of databases and the use of SQL in the PostgreSQL environment. Using SQL
    techniques and common commands (INSERT INTO, WHERE, ORDER BY, ON DELETE CASCADE, etc) will enable you to create tables, column
    types and define the schema of your data in PostgreSQL. You will learn about data modeling and how to represent one-to-many and
    many-to-many relationships in PostgreSQL. Students will do hands-on assignments creating tables, inserting data, designing data models,
    creating relational structures and inserting and querying relational data in tables.

    This course is for beginners from a very thorough perspective. Even though I've seen most of the material in college, it was great to catch up on it, and have a distinct perspective of the subject.

    D​r. Chuck delivers once again. To me there couldn't be any better explanation for SQL than this. I used to suck at SQL during university as well but after this course, I love SQL!

    Wonderful content on databases as a whole, as well as easy access tools to quickly dive in. I do believe the first 3 weeks went a little heavy on giving the exact sql needed for the assignments, and I believe having students fill in column names rather than being able to copy/paste would help engrain it a little more.

    It's good but the structuring could've been better. It also really lacks some necessary theory explanations, I was often googling stuff on my own to get a better understanding. Practical wise, it's really good.

    Very good introductory course. I would have liked to go in a little more detail in the installation so as to be able to set up your own postgresql instance but maybe that's out of the scope of the course.

    Very good course but some information is just too abstract. It need a little bit more detail and depth in order to understand concepts. The practicality of the exercises is just amazing. Great job!

    Lectures are decently produced and informative. However, since this is a basic course, most people need way more extensive SQL practice than the trivial assignments provided by this course.

    Python for Everybody usage is too useless. It makes the learning process more complicated, unnecessarily. Despite this, other things are perfect.

    Dr. Charles is passionate about what he teaches, and it has made me become personally invested more into data science.

    Overall, this course was okay. It did not really teach the mechanics of how to write sql queries. However, it was neat to learn about the database design. This course could be improved if there are more exercise where we have to write queries from scratch or real life projects.

    Having more real hands on labs/projects is where the learning really happens.

    Although I have zero background in SQL, this course felt too easy. If I have to put my finger on it - the practice tasks are not challenging in the slightest. On the other hand, the lecturer is very nice to listen to!
