Relational Database Design and Advanced Querying
Develop expertise in relational database design principles and implementation using SQL Server. This course teaches normalization techniques, entity-relationship modeling, and schema optimization to create efficient database structures. You'll use DDL (Data Definition Language) statements to build and modify database objects while enforcing data integrity through constraints. The advanced querying section covers complex joins, subqueries, CTEs, and aggregate functions that enable sophisticated data analysis. You'll also explore data warehousing concepts and learn to leverage GenAI to assist with complex query development from natural language descriptions. By the end of this course, you'll be able to design normalized databases from scratch and write advanced queries that extract meaningful insights from complex data structures.
