I think that this course gives the nessesary amount of information in regards to databases. It really dives into database structure as well as basic SQL commands. When I say "basic" commands, I really mean the bare-bones commands, nothing too intense. For instance, they don't talk about "joining" tables or even doing "Union" commands. Another thing is that while they dive into the database structure, they really do not discuss different database tools (Azure Data Studio, dbeaver, etc...).

Overall, this is a solid course for introduction to databases and SQL. While it skips over some key points in SQL, it does provide some fantastic first steps on how to structure a query and create a database.

Information was good, instruction was good, some errors and typos apparent in the assessments.

To be honest this module was probably the worst of the entire course thus far. I will outline some of the issues below.

- asks questions about concepts it hasn't taught you and expects you to figure them out by reading between the lines THEN proceeds to cover these topics in depth videos after it already forced you to learn them on your own. seems counter intuitive and a bit boring towards the end when youre covering things you already figured out last week.

- it is clearly written by multiple people who all have different coding styles which creates problems when they change from snake_case to camelCase to alllowercase in the same quiz and its unclear which to adhere to and simply not typing it exactly as the current one causes you to miss questions on assignments.

- there is clear typos, grammatical and spelling errors throughout the course which does not make it looks as professional as it claims to be.

The most challenging course from the certification so far, yet not that difficult. I enjoyed the Labs since I learnt a few new concepts and refresh my SQL skills. ✅ Pros: - Summarizes pretty good all the concepts and skills you need to get started with Relational Databases and SQL. - Provides enough information and Labs to learn what you need to conceptualize, design, and maintain Relational Databases. - After this course, you should be able to implement a fully functional database for a project. ❌ Cons: - I would've loved to have more Labs, since I enjoyed a lot working on the ones that are included. - This course would be more valuable if you were taught how to deploy a Relational Database in the cloud, or in your own server (this might be covered in a later course so this might not really be a con).

This is the best IT course I have taken anywhere! The course developers are geniuses in Educational Technology. I hope they get to develop more courses like this. GlenMate.com

As per my experience, this is the most interesting course for me in this professional certification because it is very well organized and very knowledgeable.

Overall, I found this course to be an excellent resource for anyone who wants to gain a better understanding of databases and back-end development. The instructor's knowledge, teaching style, and the course materials all contribute to making this course an enjoyable and valuable learning experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to expand their knowledge and skills in this field.

This is a wonderful course, made with soul. This is a wonderful story in simple words, step by step, about complex topics. Huge thanks to the amazing creators and Meta Corporation. I am a refugee from Ukraine studying to find a job and this course has been a huge support for me and my family during a difficult time after russia's dastardly attack on Ukraine. 

I really liked the topic of working with relational databases, as well as about sampling, updating, inserting into operators.

The course will be useful for all those who are going to work on projects with SQL databases, as well as for those who are just starting to learn them.

The course was basic and well design to furtur progress in databases managment . Course has already cover all the basic and idea behind the database design and other aspect ! Love that course and now I have relavent skill to built my basic work database using mysql.

It was really a best experience I have ever gained. The most special thing about this course is that it provide the lab for the exercise I loved it. Thank you so much team meta for such a great learning experience.

It was a informative and precise course with sufficient labs to get hands on.

I found Normalization is pretty tricky to implement. More detailed readings shall help me improve and gain confidence.

Perfect course for those who want to learn about databases. Straight to the point and great quizzes alongside with labs. Last quiz had some problems with the first 10 SQL questions.

They do not teach Databases and SQL anywhere like here. Meta sure does Software Engineering very differently. If you want to be the best, I guess you ought to learn from the best.

This is one of the best courses so far in this specialization. Very well presented, very easy to grasp, and very enjoyable. I highly recommend.

This course provides comprehensive fundamental knowledge about database systems. The topics were well covered and instructors were top notch.

This is by far my favourite course with META. the videos, The instructor's teaching and delieving the content is pretty awesome.

Very awesome course. You're gonna work realy hard to get your certificate in the end. But you're up for the challenge. Vamos!!

Great Course, I learned a lot of new things, I already knew some but this course clarify a lot of things for me.

Engaging, touches on the fundamentals clearly, with readings and links to practice and dive deeper on you own.

I learned a great deal about SQL, Mysql, and database architecture that I will apply to my future projects.

Un espléndido curso para todos aquellos que gustan aprender sobre las bases de datos relacionales

The videos were honestly really easy to understand and I actually had fun through the course. ( :

This is a very comprehensive introductory course. I must recommend this course for beginners.

It is a great priviledge learning from the best with a well explanation on Data structure
