UdemyThis course introduces distributed SQL as a category and positions YugabyteDB against monolithic databases like Oracle, SQL Server, PostgreSQL, and MySQL. Across roughly 90 minutes of lectures and hands-on exercises, it walks through the architecture and design principles behind YugabyteDB and the YSQL API.
Anyone evaluating or getting started with distributed SQL — database administrators, backend engineers, and architects comparing YugabyteDB to traditional relational databases will find the pace practical rather than purely theoretical.
The course closes with a review session aimed at exam prep, making it a compact way to get hands-on with distributed SQL fundamentals.
