SQL Advanced Course
Take your SQL skills up a level
Our Advanced SQL course will build upon the skills learnt in our SQL Intermediate course.
In this course, students will use more sophisticated techniques for querying databases and reshaping and manipulating result sets. Participants will learn to reshape data by pivoting and unpivoting. They will write more complex queries using subqueries, temporary tables and common table expressions. They will use recursive techniques to query hierarchical data and create date dimension tables. Students will build on their understanding of scalar user-defined functions and local variables to create table-valued functions and use table variables.
Students will also learn to simplify querying and increase their efficiency by using views and stored procedures. Students work with an Azure SQL database and write queries in Microsoft’s Transact-SQL (T-SQL). Much of what is covered will be useful for users working with other database products.

Tamara Shatar holds a PhD in Agricultural Data Science. She has extensive experience, including many years working as a research scientist focused on data analysis, modelling using machine learning, simulation, and other techniques. While working in both academia and at the CSIRO, part of her role included teaching a variety of data analysis skills.
What is Remote Training?
Remote training at Nexacu means our experienced trainers will deliver your training virtually. With remote learning, students can access our usual classroom training courses via video conferencing, ask questions, participate in the discussion, and share their screen with the trainer if they need help at any point in the course. Students have the same level of participation and access to the trainer as they would in classroom training sessions.
