Database Management with MySQL

Welcome to Database Management with MySQL! This course is designed for anyone interested in learning the fundamental concepts of databases and how to interact with them using SQL (Structured Query Language). Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone with some experience in programming, this course will provide you with a solid foundation in MySQL and SQL.

What You Will Learn:

• Understanding Databases: We’ll start with the basics of what a database is, why they’re essential in modern applications, and the differences between various types of databases.
• Introduction to SQL: SQL is the language used to communicate with databases. You’ll learn about the structure of SQL and how it’s used to perform various operations like creating, reading, updating, and deleting data.
• Working with MySQL: MySQL is one of the most popular relational database management systems. You’ll get hands-on experience installing and setting up MySQL, as well as using it to manage databases.
• Basic SQL Commands: You’ll dive into essential SQL commands, such as:
  • SELECT: Retrieving data from a database.
  • INSERT: Adding new records to a table.
  • UPDATE: Modifying existing records.
  • DELETE: Removing records from a table.
• Creating and Managing Tables: Learn how to design and create your own tables in MySQL, define primary keys, and establish relationships between tables.
• Filtering and Sorting Data: Master the art of querying data with conditions, sorting results, and using SQL functions to manipulate data.
• Introduction to Joins: Understand how to combine data from multiple tables using JOIN operations, a crucial concept in working with relational databases.
• SQL Functions: Dive into SQL functions that allow you to perform calculations on data, manipulate strings, and work with dates. You’ll explore aggregate functions like SUM(), COUNT(), AVG() as well as string functions like CONCAT(), and date functions like NOW().
• Joins and Subqueries: Learn how to combine data from multiple tables using different types of joins (INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN, RIGHT JOIN). You’ll also explore subqueries, which enable you to perform complex queries by nesting one query inside another.
• Stored Procedures: Discover the power of stored procedures—precompiled SQL code that can be saved and reused. You’ll learn how to create, modify, and execute stored procedures to automate repetitive tasks and enhance the efficiency of your database operations.
• Triggers: Understand triggers, which are special types of stored procedures that automatically execute in response to certain events on a table. You’ll learn how to create and manage triggers to enforce business rules, maintain data integrity, and track changes within your database.
