This beginner-friendly course takes you from your first SQL query to practical data analysis, JOINs, SQL challenges, and modern AI-assisted workflows. You’ll learn SQL by doing. Short explanations are followed by hands-on exercises, quizzes, datasets, and challenges so you can practice each new skill immediately. And unlike a traditional beginner SQL course, you’ll also learn how to use AI without blindly trusting it. You’ll generate SQL with AI, write better prompts, debug queries, understand unfamiliar SQL, and — most importantly — verify whether AI-generated SQL is actually correct. No previous SQL, programming, database, or AI experience is required.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:
- Write SQL queries using SELECT and FROM

- Analyze data using SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, and MAX
