Databases and SQL for Data Science with Python

IBM develops SQL from an initial query workflow toward database access in Python. Relational concepts and intermediate queries lead into an assignment, with a bonus module for data-engineering topics. The beginner course connects the language with practical analytical use.

What you will learn

• Query and organize relational data with SQL.
• Explain tables and basic database relationships.
• Access a database through a Python workflow.

Who this suits

Beginners; the provider requires no earlier SQL, Python, database or programming knowledge.

Before you enroll

Check the lab and database environment used by the course. SQL dialects and connection libraries vary, so distinguish general query ideas from platform-specific syntax.

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

Query a small fictional orders database from SQL and Python. Confirm that both routes return the same records and handle an empty result consistently.
