1. 1. Introduction to SQL: Learners will study the basic elements of SQL and its role in data manipulation. They will gain foundational skills in writing simple SQL queries to retrieve and manipulate data.
2. 2. Data Selection Techniques: Learners will explore various methods for selecting data from tables, including filtering, sorting, and using conditions. Practical skills include writing complex WHERE clauses and using ORDER BY.
3. 3. Joining Tables: This module covers techniques for combining data from multiple tables using JOIN operations. Learners will learn to write inner, outer, and self-joins, enhancing their ability to work with relational databases.
4. 4. Aggregation and Grouping: Learners will study how to aggregate data using functions like COUNT, SUM, AVG, and more. They will learn to group data with GROUP BY and apply aggregate functions to subgroups.
5. 5. Window Functions: This module introduces learners to window functions such as ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), and LEAD/LAG, which allow for more sophisticated data analysis and manipulation within a result set.
6. 6. Subqueries and Common Table Expressions (CTEs): Learners will learn to use subqueries and CTEs for complex query construction. They will gain skills in writing nested queries and using CTEs for query readability and reusability.
7. 7. Data Subset Extraction and Filtering: This module focuses on techniques for extracting specific subsets of data based on complex conditions. Learners will practice using multiple conditions, logical operators, and subqueries to filter data.
8. 8. Advanced Data Aggregation and Grouping Strategies: Learners will explore advanced aggregation techniques such as rollup, cube, and grouping sets. They will learn to apply these strategies for more detailed data analysis.
9. 9. Data Manipulation and Transformation: This module covers how to manipulate and transform data within SQL, including using CASE statements, replacing values, and performing data type conversions.
10. 10. Practical SQL for Grouping and Analysis: Learners will apply their skills to real-world scenarios involving data grouping and analysis. They will work on projects that require them to design and implement SQL queries to extract and analyze specific data subsets.
