CLASS TITLE	DATE	TIME	FEE
SQL Basics (ITS-2521)

SQL is the standard programming language for creating, updating, and  
retrieving information stored in databases. This 1-day workshop will  
enable students to turn ordinary questions into statements that the  
database can understand.

This class moves beyond graphical query tools as the questions grow in  
complexity in an easy-to-follow class. Basic knowledge of relational  
databases and query terms is strongly recommended.

F Jan 21	
9 AM - 4 PM
$325
What people are saying about this class:

- "Class helped to provide more context as I'm not a daily user of SQL  
but have staff that use SQL a lot."
- "Great intro to SQL, and I really appreciate the book we received  
and the web page of resources for us to refer back to. This course was  
exactly what I needed!"
- "The instructor's explanation skills (at least of SQL to the non- 
technical) are impressive."
