Master the select statement to pull specific columns from tables, with examples from the customers table and table2, and note why using the asterisk is discouraged for performance.
Group by statement teaches you to aggregate data by category, use sum, max, count, and average. Combine multiple groupings with where and order by.
Explore group by challenges to count customers per store, films by rental duration, and payments by customer, using count, average, min, and max aggregations with guided hints and solutions.
Learn sql aliases, temporary names for columns and tables, usable with or without as, improving readability; they apply at the end and cannot be used in where or group by.
Explore how sql joins combine data from multiple tables to create a complete picture, covering inner, left, right, full, cross, self, natural joins, and union, with practical exercises.
Explore the common and different characteristics of inner, left, right, and full joins, how on clauses link tables, and how nonmatches yield null values.
Explore PostgreSQL date types and date functions, including current date, current time, now, extract, interval arithmetic, age, and to_char, to manipulate and format date data.
Explore PostgreSQL building blocks for databases by mastering data types, constraints, and core commands: create table, insert, update, delete, drop, alter, and check constraint.
Learn how the nullif function in PostgreSQL compares two expressions and returns null when they are equal, preventing division by zero and simplifying conditional logic.
Level up your SQL by mastering window functions and common table expressions to break down complex queries, perform advanced calculations, and write cleaner, more readable queries.
Welcome to Complete SQL Bootcamp in the Era of AI — a comprehensive, hands-on course designed to take you from absolute beginner to confident SQL expert, ready to tackle real-world data challenges in today’s AI-driven landscape.

What You Will Learn
1. Getting Started: Setup & Environment
Begin your journey by installing PostgreSQL and pgAdmin on Windows, Linux, or MacOS. Setting up your tools correctly is the first step toward hands-on learning and success.
2. Fundamentals of SQL Queries
Discover the building blocks of SQL. Learn how to retrieve data with SELECT, filter with WHERE, sort using ORDER BY, and refine results with LIMIT and OFFSET. Master operators like BETWEEN, IN, and pattern matching with LIKE and ILIKE.
Practice with real data and challenges to build your foundational skills.
3. Grouping & Aggregation
Understand how to summarize and analyze data using GROUP BY and aggregate functions like SUM, COUNT, and AVG. Learn to filter groups using the HAVING clause, apply aliases for clearer queries, and explore why grouping remains essential — even in the age of AI.
4. Joins & Relationships
Master the art of combining data from multiple tables using various types of joins: INNER, LEFT, RIGHT, FULL OUTER, and more. Understand their differences, transformations, and learn why joins are irreplaceable despite AI advancements.
5. SQL Functions
Unlock the power of built-in string, numeric, and date functions. Learn how to combine functions to clean, transform, and extract deeper insights from your data — essential skills for any SQL professional.
6. Working with Databases
Learn how databases are structured and managed. Create and modify tables, define data types, apply constraints, and perform data manipulation with INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE. Gain confidence managing your database’s structure with commands like ALTER and DROP.
7. Conditional Expressions & Optimization
Build dynamic and flexible queries using CASE statements, COALESCE, CAST, and NULLIF. Discover how to create views to simplify complex queries and indexes to speed up your data retrieval.
8. Advanced SQL Concepts
Take your skills to the next level with window functions and Common Table Expressions (CTEs). Learn how to perform complex calculations like running totals, rankings, and moving averages without losing detail. Explore how these powerful tools work in harmony with AI to write smarter queries.
Why This Course?
