In this advanced SQL class, you’ll learn to add If-Else logic to your queries with CASE statements and use string functions to extract exactly the text you need. You’ll also work with subqueries, which let you dynamically pull data from anywhere in a database and use that result in another query.

If you (or others) don’t have permissions to query tables directly, you’ll discover how to query using Views instead. You’ll also learn to use functions with parameters and how to run reusable stored procedures.

By the end of this advanced, hands-on course, you’ll have mastered deeper SQL techniques that will better prepare you for work in data analysis, data science, or any position that requires SQL to manage and analyze data in databases.
