A crucial skill for anyone working with data is the ability to access and analyse that data. Structured Query Language (SQL) enables users to access data from databases, combine data from related tables and aggregate, sort, filter or limit the data retrieved as needed.

You will be guided through the basics of relational databases as well as how to run queries from the Azure portal and from Azure Data Studio. Learn how to work with data stored in the cloud and develop an understanding of relational databases and SQL. This course will suit those working towards an Azure Data Fundamentals Certification.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

  • Understand the basics of relational databases
  • Use SQL to retrieve data from a database
  • Run queries using the Azure portal and Azure Data Studio

Prerequisite:

No prior knowledge of SQL or relational databases is required; this course is designed for beginners.
