Introduction to Structured Query Language (SQL)

Michigan combines a PHP-and-SQL environment with relational query and design work. Many-to-many relationships receive a separate module, making the course useful for understanding how several related tables represent an application’s information. Coursera classifies this introduction as intermediate.

What you will learn
