The aim of this course is to provide a clear understanding of how to use SQL across various databases (Oracle, SQL Server, MS Access, etc.). A solid grasp of analytic functions and techniques for joining different tables within a database will enable delegates to shift data analysis operations to the database layer, rather than relying on the MS Excel application. This approach also supports the development of any IT system that utilises a relational database.

This SQL training course is designed for individuals seeking to develop the essential skills required to extract and analyse data from any database and generate reports. Participants will learn:
