Intro to the SQL Series
Looking for an accessible introduction into learning Structured Query Language (SQL)? Look no further. This intro to our series covers all the important aspects that we will be going over.
Join us as we demystify database queries and teach you how to navigate and extract meaningful insights from large datasets using simple yet powerful commands.
Installing and Using HeidiSQL
In this video we work through the process of downloading, installing, and learning how to use HeidiSQL.
HeidiSQL is a free, open source, desktop application which you can use to connect to different databases, such as SQL Server, MySQL, Maria DB, and more. Once connected you can perform most operations you would through a terminal application.
We will use HeidiSQL throughout this series. While it is not required, it will make many things easier for you.
Creating Your Database Using SQL
Before we can work with a database using things like select statements, we must first create our database. This create command is part of the DDL of the SQL language.
Luckily, the creation of the database is very simple in SQL. And it’s even easier in HeidiSQL. So let’s look at how we can create our database, so we can then move on to creating other elements that go into the database and make it usable for us and end users.
