Your Step-By-Step Guide To Learning SQL For Work
Congratulations on your new job!
Yesterday, dealing with databases seemed far away, but today, your boss told you to “run a report of our sales on our database.” You need to learn SQL, and fast.
If this sounds familiar, I have good news for you.
SQL – or Structured Query Language – is an easy-to-learn computer language designed for business analysts like yourself. It’s not complicated and I am confident you can learn it, too.
With this short and fast-paced crash course, you will learn and practice the basics of SQL Programming in a day. With the basics under your belt, you will hit the ground running when you work with your company’s data.
LEARN: Here’s Exactly What You Need to Know to Get Started
What is SQL?
You will learn the basics of what SQL is, how to install SQLite for your exercises, how to create a new database yourself and what the differences are between Oracle, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL and PostgreSQL. You will also learn about the advantages and disadvantages of SQL, how to get started with your company’s database and how to stay safe from mistakes when running reports against real data.
Database and Table Basics
In this chapter you will learn what databases and tables are as we compare them to Excel Spreadsheets. You will learn how query a table using SQL’s SELECT query including a deep-dive into the WHERE clause with its many operators.
I will also show you how easy it is to create your own table using the CREATE TABLE statement. Then you will learn how to INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE rows in a table. Finally, I will show you how to remove a table altogether using the DROP TABLE command.
The Select Statement
In this chapter you will learn more about the SELECT statement, the bread-and-butter of any database business analyst. We will learn about the 5 clauses that make SELECT so powerful: Aggregate functions like MIN, MAX, AVG, SUM and COUNT that lets you gain new insights on your data on the fly.
Clauses
In this chapter, you will learn how to use GROUP BY, HAVING and ORDER BY to slice and dice your data even further. Finally, we will re-visit the WHERE clause to make sure you only analyse data that you really care about.
Sequences and How to Handle Duplicates
In this chapter you will learn how the database system can automatically generate a new identifier for each of your rows of data using what’s called a PRIMARY KEY. To ensure that your records of data stay unique, you will learn how to use the UNIQUE keyword when creating tables.
Table Joins – An Absolute Must
Up to this point, you have learned how to create, read, update and delete data from single tables. What makes relational databases so powerful is, well, that they’re relational. In this chapter you will learn how to run analysis by connecting data-points between tables using the JOIN clause in your SELECT statements.

2 years I started work as business analyst and the first thing I had to deliver was report to my boss the next day. I scrambled to find a quick, practical introduction to SQL. I got the report done in time but I thought to myself “There must be a better, less painful way to learn this.”
This book contains all the basics that I had to find all over the web. I kept it short so that you get the most bang for your buck. My goal for you is to de-mystify everything you need to know about SQL, so you can do your job and do it well.
