This module focuses on enhancing your data retrieval skills through SQL queries. You will master basic SQL syntax and query structures, enabling you to execute SELECT statements for data retrieval and apply filtering techniques using WHERE clauses. Additionally, you will learn to sort data effectively. Practical exercises, quizzes, and discussions will reinforce these skills, providing you with the groundwork to extract relevant data from databases efficiently.

In this module, you will delve into data transformation techniques using SQL functions. You will write and execute JOINs to combine data from multiple tables, utilizing aliases to enhance readability and clarity. You will combine filtering, transformations, and aliases to create more efficient queries, focusing on formatting and presenting results for improved data interpretation. Through hands-on activities and assessments, you will develop the capability to manipulate complex datasets effectively.

The final module introduces advanced concepts in SQL, including views for encapsulating complex queries. You will learn to create, modify, and drop views to streamline and maintain efficient database structures. Additionally, the module explores the integration of Generative AI tools, like GitHub Copilot, to assist in writing and optimizing SQL queries. You will reflect on the benefits and limitations of AI in SQL query development, preparing you for a future where AI-driven tools play a significant role in database management. The module concludes with a review of key learnings and a preview of the next course, setting new learning goals.
