Many organizations use databases to store their most critical information: the information that manages their day-to-day operations. After the data is stored in databases, however, it is useless unless you can retrieve it for further business analysis. This course, SQL Querying: Fundamentals, will teach you to use SQL as a tool to retrieve the information you need from databases.
