Structured Database Environments with SQL
Develop the skills necessary to create structured database environments using a relational database management system (RDBMS), such as MySQL, that incorporates basic processing functionality and allows for data management, data manipulation and data analysis. Learn about types of data and types of databases to store data, as well as design for scalability. You’ll also learn to prepare digital data storage using the relational model, including resolving integrity constraints, and proper assignments of primary and foreign keys. In addition, you’ll construct and analyze queries to address data requirements.
