About the Course

Database Management Essentials provides the foundation you need for a career in database development, data warehousing, or business intelligence, as well as for the entire Data Warehousing for Business Intelligence specialization. In this course, you will create relational databases, write SQL statements to extract information to satisfy business reporting requests, create entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) to design databases, and analyze table designs for excessive redundancy. As you develop these skills, you will use either Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL to execute SQL statements and a database diagramming tool such as the ER Assistant or Visual Paradigm to create ERDs. We’ve designed this course to ensure a common foundation for specialization learners. Everyone taking the course can jump right in with writing SQL statements in Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL....

Excellent introduction to DB Management, I learned everything that I wanted to learn from it. I highly recommend it and actually I am already enrolled to the next course of the specialization.

Good overview of DB basics but be ready to train your patience as software installation will be the most demanding task.

I think this course is good in explanation concept but there are few sample case to show so it may hard to understand.

Muito Bom o Curso, mas poderia ter um pouco mais de aulas práticas e não somente praticar nos quizz e nos assignments.

The course has good material and solid assignment. It would be five star if it goes more deep in some topics

I'm not sure peer grading is the most effective way to evaluate since peers can be just as lost as I am.

For a newbie it is a challenging course. It is good and with lots of handwork I will get there.

Subtitles are sometimes incorrect. The last module is advanced. A lot of practices is a must.

A bit too academic to my taste but it has the merit of making you learn by practicing
