Generative AI Database Design & Management with ChatGPT

Vanderbilt applies generative AI across database design and refinement. Prototyping and testing lead into reports, optimization and migration. This intermediate course connects prompting with an existing database workflow rather than teaching SQL or relational design entirely from scratch.

What you will learn

• Use AI to explore a database-design proposal.
• Refine and test a proposed schema.
• Examine reporting, migration and optimization suggestions.

Who this suits

Learners with basic databases and SQL, plus access to and familiarity with generative AI tools.

Before you enroll

Those foundations are required. Review generated queries and schema changes before running them, and use a disposable database with synthetic records for exercises.

Coursera offers paid enrollment or subscription access. Check the enrollment screen for assessment and certificate terms, trials and any financial-aid options. Provider access terms can change; review them before paying.

Put it into practice

Ask for a schema for a fictional booking service. Check its keys and constraints manually, then test a migration and rollback on a local practice database.
