Great course that sums up all that it teaches at the end, unfortunately I encountered an error loading PostgreSQL and MySQL at the end on the cloud IBM platform so I did it in VisCode

Siento que es muy complicado el curso y en el proyecto final hay un error con los permisos de la descarga del archivo csv, sirve bien de introducción pero me costó mucho trabajo

Db2 blocked my account for unknown reasons.I think it should have been a more technical course but overall it was good.Thank you for teaching us

Sometimes it is difficult to understand what on-hand training task is required. It would be really helpful if you can write steps in detail.

Lab instruction needs to be improved according to the version of the software used, few options are changed when tried in practical.

It was good for an introduction to relational databases and learning the basic usage of the tools for managing databases

Course information is uot of date and needs to be updated. One example: a question on the final test: >> When creating a foreign key, how can you define an action to take if a parent table row is updated? Use the ALTER TABLE command Use the ON DELETE CASCADE clause Use the rule clause ("correct answer") Use the CREATE TABLE command But actual: In PostgreSQL, rules are generally considered deprecated in favor of triggers for most use cases, particularly for handling updates to views and data modifications. While the rule system is still functional, triggers offer simpler semantics and are less prone to unexpected behavior, especially with volatile functions or complex queries.

Content is good. Probably too much focus on DB2 but that is to be expected from IBM. But the lab service is sometimes unusably slow. You may not be able to finish the final project, as on some days, the labs never load... You can follow along to an extent on mariadb or something on your own computer or server but the labs just don't load on the weekend. If the content looks good to you, go ahead and watch the videos, but don't expect to be able to finish the certificate because the labs might just be down.

The course is good, but some of the labs can be extremely frustrating. I understand the designers cannot be responsible for all user configurations, but I would highly suggest that lab content have more troubleshooting comments directly in the lab instead of only in the discussion forum, particularly around options for getting data into and out of the lab environment.

Subjects were made very clear but some explanations lacked information; e.g. when talking about indexing: the topic is way deeper than it was taught. I had to do tons of extra reading to be confident with RDBMS. I know this is what I am supposed to do, but I expected just a little bit more from the videos.
Nonetheless, it is a very professional course. Congrats!

The course is a great introduction to SQL but have some critical flaws: - Promote bad practices in some lessons (use lowercase in SQL statements and saturate queries in one liners) - Some quizes evaluate correct answers as wrong and even doesn't have a correct answer.

Il corso è ottimo, i laboratori hanno dei tempi troppo ridotti per poter lavorare spensieratamente

it's better if you also provide a guide on how to install mysql and postgre SQL
