Distributed SQL and YugabyteDB Fundamentals
Requirements
- Basic understanding of how traditional RDBMS work.
Description
This course will teach you the core concepts of distributed SQL and what makes it different from monolithic databases like Oracle, SQL Server PostgreSQL and MySQL.

Distributed SQL terms, definitions, and comparisons
YugabyteDB architecture and design principles
YSQL API development
Course review and exam prep
We also worked through a variety of hands-on exercises including:
Single and multi-node cluster installs on Mac, Linux, and Kubernetes
JDBC connectivity
User management and basic security
Working with databases and schemas
Creating objects and loading data from external files
Creating and exploring a sample database
Creating functions and triggers
Setting up admin tools like pgAdmin, TablePlus, and DBeaver
