Description
MySQL is a general purpose relational database management system (RDBMS) used mainly to provide a back-end database for web applications. In this course, we'll introduce the concepts of relational database management systems in general, and how they relate to MySQL in particular. Unlike traditional courses that concentrate mainly on theory, we'll take a practical "how-to" approach to working with data. Here's what yyou'll learn: Creating databases and tablesAdding data to a table with INSERT Reading a table with SELECTHow to use WHERE to filter dataUsing ORDER BY to sort dataJOINs and how to use them to read from multiple tablesChanging data in a table with UPDATEThe DELETE query: removing one or more rows of data from a tableUsing a text file to load a database schemaThese topics and many more will be covered. The concentration in this course is on MySQL itself… not on how to use it to for any particular purpose. But this course makes a great introduction to our upcoming course about web databases using php and MySQL. So why wait… sign up today!
