This course will introduce students to the database language SQL, using the open-source relational database management system MySQL.

Students will learn to create tables and fields; define relationships between tables; and manipulate numbers, strings, and dates.

Students will obtain a solid knowledge of the language and how to retrieve and manage data efficiently. By the end of the class, students will be able to download a publicly available dataset, import it into MySQL, and query to filter/extract subsets of data.

The course will consist of daily live Zoom class meetings from 8:30 - 11:30 a.m. (Central Time), and additional course material in Canvas.
