Analyzing Big Data with SQL

Cloudera develops the core query operations in the setting of larger data systems. SELECT foundations lead into filtering and grouping, then sorting and combining records. The beginner course offers a route into SQL analysis with a distributed-data context.

What you will learn

• Select and filter records for a data question.
• Group and aggregate information.
• Combine datasets and control the order and size of a result.

Who this suits

Beginners interested in SQL for larger data systems. Detailed prerequisites are not listed.

Before you enroll

Inspect the exercise environment before starting. A query that is valid in one SQL engine may require syntax or execution changes in another platform.

Put it into practice

Analyze a public sample dataset with a grouped query. Compare results before and after a filter and explain why the stage at which filtering happens matters.
