What a great introduction to SQL. I didn't even know what it was before I started, and now I understand how to use it, at a basic level, and am ready to apply it a bit and learn more as I use it.

i like to study this course, but the screen very small so the character also very small, difficult to write the SQL code

I study about select, insert, delete, like, select with join 2 tables

There was nothing about the basic concepts of Relational Databases, I expected more. In addition, I prefer to use PostgreSQL and not MySQL. There was nothing useful for me, like how should I design a table, which attributes should I choose as Primary Key, etc.

This course is just right for the beginners who wants to know and try sql commands. And I would like to do more projects from the same instructor.

This course skips major concepts like creating tables, special keywords, primary key foreign key etc. Also it does provide a comprehensive introduction. Due to this, I have lost access to 3rd party tool and can not be able to proceed. so I have to learn remaining concepts from internet in order to complete this course.

Also it is too short.

I really enjoyed the online course. I thought it was well planned and layed out, easy for me to follow. The work load(h.w. & test)was just enough, so i could finish everything with enough time, learn about the topics and not feel over loaded and rushed.

The course has been able to elaborate on all the methods which are engaged with relational database & SQL. This course must be really helpful for beginners who are the way to start a new journey with SQL so its completely worth learning course. Thank u Coursera :)...

Good overview of basic MySQL.

Does not go into a lot of depth but it gets the information in front of you and opens the door for you to go out and learn more SQL.

Joins could have used a little more examples and explanation but in 1 hour, it's hard to ask for much more. This is a great way to keep those basic SQL skills polished but you will need a more thorough course to really say you "know" SQL.

This is a great beginner course! I already knew most of it, other than the server. I really like doing Joins in MySql compared to bigquery!! This is a very informative, short lesson for those starting out. BUT the end test has an error. If you answer it correctly, it counts it wrong and says the other answer is correct. So, I got a 90 on the course, that's the only flaw. Thanks!

The best guided project I have done till now. Every material was provided perfectly. No new accounts were needed to be created, no sign-ins, no sign-ups. The explanation was crystal clear. I would like recommend this course to everyone.

I consider this basic sql project course a very good one, well guided and therefore quite easy to follow. It appealed to me, that the instructor put emphasis on deepening the new knowledge through an optional, guided practising part.

First I wasn't able to access the video material to learn due to my poor internet connection and slow laptop, later on I was able to use a better PC to learn the video task. Really well explained both in text and video.

Based on my own experience, as someone who has absolutely no idea about Relational Database and SQL, this project was an amazing point to start with and build a great foundation for further understanding of this topic.

Fun and interesting guided project. There were minor issues such as typographical or code errors from the instructor, but it was corrected through annotation. I didn't mind it that much because I enjoyed the process.

It is a short project, so you get more value for money if you have a Coursera subscription. That been said, it was exactly what I want from an Introduction to SQL project.

Very basic introduction into SQL and Relational Database.

It can be done by someone without any experience.

Good to test your skills if you are not proficient.

very good for absolute beginners, if any one taking this with some previous knowledge then there must be some what different task from explanation.
