Database Design and Management with SQL
Course Description
Ready to master the backbone of every modern application? This hands-on course teaches you how to design, build, and manage robust relational databases using SQL the universal language for data. Whether you're a developer, analyst, or aspiring data professional, you’ll gain the foundational and advanced skills needed to work with real-world data systems confidently.
Why Learn Database Design & SQL?
Data drives decisions but only if it’s well-organized, accurate, and accessible. Companies rely on properly structured databases for everything from user accounts and inventory to analytics and AI. SQL remains the #1 skill for data roles, and strong database design principles are essential for scalable, bug-free applications.
What You’ll Learn:
- Understand relational database fundamentals: tables, keys, relationships, and normalization (up to 3NF)
- Write powerful SQL queries: SELECT, JOINs, subqueries, aggregations, and window functions
- Design efficient schemas using ER diagrams and best practices
- Enforce data integrity with constraints, indexes, and transactions
- Optimize query performance through indexing and execution plans
- Manage users, roles, and permissions securely
- Work with real database systems: PostgreSQL (primary) and MySQL
- Import/export data and automate backups
- Handle common pitfalls: redundancy, inconsistency, and poor scalability
- Apply your skills in a capstone project: design a full database for an e-commerce or SaaS platform
