Structured Query Language (SQL) is the primary language used for accessing and managing data in a relational database system. Analysts, project managers, and other professionals want to make informed decisions using large datasets, but without a working knowledge of SQL, they often have to request that IT staff perform these data retrievals.
Expert George Mount walks you through using SQL to query a database to extract the information you need for your analyses. No prior experience in programming or databases is required. As an Excel user, you already know more about these topics than you realize. Over three informative hours, you'll discover how the foundations of SQL relate to everyday Excel tasks, empowering you to better explore and analyze your own databases.
