About this course
Data Analysis Using SQL is a beginner-level course on Coursera offered by Fractal Analytics. It runs 17 hours 28 minutes and is taught in English. The course teaches learners how to extract, clean and analyse data using SQL queries. No programming background is required, only a curious mind and structured thinking.
The syllabus moves from single-table queries to combining multiple tables. You start with Introduction to Data Analysis using SQL, then cover Data Analysis with SQL on a Single Table. Next, you learn Advanced functions on Single Tables in SQL. After that, you study Analyzing Multiple Tables in SQL. The final module is CRUD Operations in SQL.
By the end, you can write queries to filter, sort and aggregate data. You can join tables to combine information from different sources. You also learn CRUD operations—Create, Read, Update and Delete—to manage database records. These skills let you produce clean datasets for reporting and basic analysis.
The course includes hands-on practice with MySQL Workbench. You work on case studies that simulate real data problems. A certificate is available for purchase after completion. This course suits beginners who want to start analysing data with SQL quickly.
