About the Course

Database Management Essentials provides the foundation you need for a career in database development, data warehousing, or business intelligence, as well as for the entire Data Warehousing for Business Intelligence specialization. In this course, you will create relational databases, write SQL statements to extract information to satisfy business reporting requests, create entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) to design databases, and analyze table designs for excessive redundancy. As you develop these skills, you will use either Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL to execute SQL statements and a database diagramming tool such as the ER Assistant or Visual Paradigm to create ERDs. We’ve designed this course to ensure a common foundation for specialization learners. Everyone taking the course can jump right in with writing SQL statements in Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL....

Very good Course for who wish to enter into Database or Data warehouse department. It is not full course but it gives enough that you can go to YouTube, etc. and learn more and understand that.

Excellent course giving me the opportunity to review, deepen and extend my database knowledges. My peer-graded experience was very poor, the worst so far on Coursera. The grades were often arbritary.

Step by step explanations. Divided into small parts so that the students can digest the information in small pieces. I like it so far.

A solid course, I feel well versed in the fundamentals of database design. The 'opening question' bits are rather superfluous though.

The course provides extensive knowledge on Entity-Relationship diagrams. It would be better if they taught more about DBMS and SQL.

Great Course and Instructors!

Only think i didn't like is the peer grading system as many of the users grade low without any reason!

Course moves very quickly, but material covered was good. Some complaints that the peer-graded assignments need an appeal process.

Good overview of DB basics but be ready to train your patience as software installation will be the most demanding task.

I think this course is good in explanation concept but there are few sample case to show so it may hard to understand.

Muito Bom o Curso, mas poderia ter um pouco mais de aulas práticas e não somente praticar nos quizz e nos assignments.

The course progress is a bit fast. It could be a litle hard for students without a nice enough English level.

I'm not sure peer grading is the most effective way to evaluate since peers can be just as lost as I am.

For a newbie it is a challenging course. It is good and with lots of handwork I will get there.

Subtitles are sometimes incorrect. The last module is advanced. A lot of practices is a must.
