It was a informative and precise course with sufficient labs to get hands on. I found Normalization is pretty tricky to implement. More detailed readings shall help me improve and gain confidence.

T鈥媓ey do not teach Databases and SQL anywhere like here. Meta sure does Software Engineering very differently. If you want to be the best, I guess you ought to learn from the best.

very Good Explanation and amazing instructor, but i think the content need to add more intermediate topics of databases such as how to deal with MySQL or what is views and indexs.

This cours is overall a good course to resfresh or learn the basis of SQL, but the tests could be better, especially the last one (it has a lot of formatting problems).

Briefly knowledge about databases. Some tasks are not clear. It could be shorter, a lot of topics were repeated for 3-5 times.

The first 3 weeks are the best part of the course. There is mention at the beginning of setting up a XAMPP instance on your local machine but no actual instructions. There are lab environments but every single one is a blank slate which presents issues later on where you're supposed to update or delete from a database that doesn't exist. The student needs to create it first so they can use the insert code to populate the database for the exercise. There are some issues with quizzes over information that hasn't been learned yet and the videos immediately after covering what you were just quizzed on. Week 4 takes a nose dive as they attempt to teach normalization. It's very theory heavy with no actual lab environment to practice in. The material is ok, but there are other courses out there that teach the same material in a better manner. The final assessment includes some problems where you type in the SQL command to get a resulting table. There is one instance where capitalization of your answer should be doesn't match the capitalization of the table you're supposed to create. I'd only suggest taking this course as part of the overall Meta specialization. As a standalone class you're better off looking elsewhere.

The videos were clear and professional, but the quizzes, readings and assignments were absolutely riddled with errors and insufficient information (example: you have to write a line of SQL to do a database operation but they don't tell you the name of the table, so you have to guess, and if you get it wrong they just say "go rewatch the video"). If you're going to take this, keep the discussion forum open at all times.
