Your First Hands-On Steps Into SQL

This course builds a working foundation in SQL and database manipulation from a true beginner's starting point — no prior experience assumed. Rather than staying purely theoretical, it starts with getting a GUI set up and actually connecting to a live MySQL database, so lessons happen against real data from the outset.

What's covered

Installing tools and connecting to a MySQL database
How tables work, including inserting records and dropping tables
The SELECT statement and aggregate functions like COUNT, MIN, and MAX
Filtering data with the WHERE clause, plus string and comparison operators

Who it's for

Anyone curious about working with large volumes of data efficiently who has never touched SQL before. The course is offered free specifically to lower the barrier to entry, and the instructor also maintains a companion YouTube channel, Analyst's Corner, and stays reachable for follow-up questions.

Because the lessons run against an actual shared database rather than a local sandbox, the practice feels closer to real-world SQL work from the very first lecture.
