SQL Bootcamp NYC: Master SQL & Databases in 3 Days

Note: This class teaches Microsoft SQL Server. While the concepts can be applied to other flavors of SQL, we recommend that anyone wanting to learn PostgreSQL attend our PostgreSQL Bootcamp.

Turn the information in databases into useful insights by writing SQL queries. Once you understand the basics of viewing tables, columns, and rows, you’ll learn how to code queries to extract the specific information you want.

Learn how to filter the data, group it, and turn raw data into insights. Combine information from multiple tables using join statements. You’ll also learn more advanced techniques like aggregate functions and subqueries, as well as how to use functions with parameters and stored procedures.

In this hands-on course you’ll learn Microsoft SQL Server and the free SQL Server Management Studio app (SSMS) to explore the database and execute SQL queries you write. The concepts you’ll learn on SQL Server can be applied to other flavors of SQL (such as PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access, MySQL, etc.) with minor syntax differences.

This SQL Server Bootcamp is our SQL Level 1, 2, and 3 classes combined into a single comprehensive course.

Why Learn SQL?

With SQL you can answer questions from information stored in a database (the ultimate system of storing data for most companies). As nearly every industry is becoming more data-driven, having this skill will give you a larger role in decision-making wherever you work.

SQL is vital to anyone in business or any job that involves working with data: business analysts, data analysts, data scientists, web developers, business people, and many others.

Corey Cunningham

Great class! The content is great and the materials are very useful. We practiced on data that very closely simulates real-life analysis that I would do at my job. I took the class in person and found that being able to ask questions was the key to learning SQL!

Greta Leal

Would recommend the course to anyone looking to gain a better understanding of database management and SQL!

Dylan Koehler

I've tried to learn SQL from courses, in books, and in asynchronous online courses. However, it was only after listening to this instructor that the material made sense. This has been helpful for me in my employment already.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is this class structured?

In this hands-on course you’ll learn the ins and outs of SQL. You will learn to explore data using the graphical interface of SQL Server Management Studio, write SQL queries, combine information from multiple tables, and much more. There will be a combination of lectures explaining the concepts, coding demonstrations showing you how to write SQL, and time for you to write SQL queries based on challenge questions we provide.

What flavor of SQL will I learn in this class?

In this training you’ll learn Microsoft SQL Server, but the core concepts can be applied to other flavors of SQL (such as PostgreSQL, Microsoft Access, MySQL, etc.) with minor syntax differences.

Which version of SQL should you learn? You should learn the version of SQL used by the company you’ll be working with, but if you don’t know that here’s a guide to help:

SQL Server only runs on Windows (it does not work on a Mac), and is widely used by businesses.
PostgreSQL works on both Mac and Windows. It is widely used in data science, data analytics, and by companies like Apple, Instagram, Uber, Netflix, etc.

Whichever you end up learning, the concepts are transferrable to other SQL flavors with minor syntax differences. So if you’re not sure, choose the one based on whether you use Mac or Windows.

Is there mandatory work outside of the classroom?

You are not required to complete any work outside of class.

Does this course require any prior knowledge or experience?

Students must be comfortable using a computer. No other prior knowledge is required.

Do you offer payment plans or student financing for this course?
