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.

Decent broad intro to the concepts of data warehousing. Very long with intro to SQL that could easily have been slimmed down especially since this is considered an intermediate specialization.

The course was clear, I had difficulties to find course materials, especially examples were used in the video class, I wish they had been put in more obvious places.

This is a good course for beginners out there. The examples make you understand the concept partially only. It tends to steer towards the boring side a little.

The course is detailed and covers key areas of database management. My concern the monotony of listening to the same instructor for all 12 modules

The instructors were really helpful throughout the course. Although this was a basic course, but it was informative and very much helpful.

Interesting, I would have liked to deepen SQL knowledge and practice. The conceptual parti seems a little bit too important.

Good for the most part, but some parts were covered too fast, and normalization was covered without adequate explanation

The instructions are a bit of a mess which highly affects the purely peer-reviewed assignments.
