This course teaches you how to work with MySQL, one of the most widely used relational database systems. Covering everything from writing basic queries to designing efficient database schemas and optimizing performance, this course is designed for beginners who want to build a solid foundation in database management. By the end, you’ll be able to create, query, and manage databases confidently for real-world applications.

What Will I Learn?

Master core C programming including variables, control flow, and functions
Understand pointers, arrays, and string handling — core C concepts
Work with dynamic memory allocation, structures, and file handling in C
Transition into C++ and understand key differences from C
Master object-oriented programming in C++ including classes, inheritance, and polymorphism
Use advanced C++ features like operator overloading, templates, and exception handling
Implement fundamental data structures and algorithms using C++
Use the Standard Template Library (STL) for efficient, ready-made data structures
Build a complete console-based project and practice competitive programming problems

Course Content

Introduction to Databases & MySQL
This topic introduces students to the concept of databases and helps them get MySQL installed and set up, laying the groundwork before writing any actual queries.

Basic SQL Queries
This topic covers the foundational SQL commands used to retrieve, add, modify, and remove data — the core operations every database user needs to know.

Database Design Basics
This topic teaches students how to properly structure a database, covering how tables are defined and how normalization keeps data organized and free of redundancy.

Joins and Relationships
This topic teaches students how to combine data from multiple related tables, a core skill for working with real-world relational databases.

INNER JOIN and Combining Tables
This lesson introduces the INNER JOIN, teaching students how to combine rows from two or more tables based on a related column, returning only matching records.

Aggregate Functions and Grouping
This topic covers how to summarize and analyze data using aggregate functions and grouping, essential for generating reports and insights from raw data.

Advanced Queries
This topic introduces more advanced query techniques that allow for more powerful and flexible data retrieval beyond basic SELECT statements.

Indexes and Performance
This topic introduces the basics of database performance, helping students understand how indexes work and how to write queries that run efficiently.

Real-World Project
This final topic lets students apply everything learned throughout the course by designing a database and writing queries for a complete, practical application.
