Understanding SQL and Relational Databases - Nov. 28

Join Arcus Education for a series of lunch-and-learn workshops to learn about relational databases and how to use SQL to query databases effectively:

Beyond the Spreadsheet: Understanding SQL and Relational Databases

SQL is a relational database solution that has been around for decades. In the first two workshops, learn more about this technology at a high level without having to write code. In the last three workshops, practice writing simple code to build your skills. If you work with raw data that is stored in multiple tables and you want to go beyond the capabilities of a spreadsheet, you’ll want to attend these workshops. You’ll leave these webinars with access to training modules that will help you practice these skills and develop confidence.

Session 1 - Demystifying SQL

What is a database? What is Structured Query Language?

Learning Objectives:

After completion of this session, learners will be able to:

• Define the acronym "SQL"
• Explain the basic organization of data in relational databases
• Explain what "relational" means in the phrase "relational database"
• Give examples of ideal tasks for using SQL

After each workshop, you’ll receive a link to the materials covered so you can go back over the material and continue to learn.
