Well detailed course, I thought this topic was going to be hard to learn. But the teacher explained it well. Anyway, I enjoy this course, because I learned a lot from it. Thank you Coursera and Meta.

This was my first time to start and finish my database course as I never get it done for a long time , it was well organized from the scratch as it it starts with basic knowledge and how it is applied with some examples , also I could learn on my own pace as I decided to set my reminder calendar which as made me finish my goal. To me this is just the beginning , I am sure that I am going to take more courses advancing from where I am.

This course is very comprehensive in terms of knowledge, concepts, explanations and quiz-based exercises. Also, they have a wonderful embedded VScode-based environment for labs in MySQL dialect of SQL. The only issues are some errors in assignments (but see relevant discussions for help) and in week 3 there is a bit of chaos with teaching (some concepts appear before they are explained).

I really enjoyed this introduction to databases. It taught me the basics in a very easy-to-understand course. I gave this course 5 stars for its content but I have to caution those who like to use the transcripts to help with notetaking. The transcripts have a lot of errors in them. Be sure to listen to the lecturer as well so you can catch mistakes that might cause you issues.

This was a hands-on and informative walkthrough of how to create database with tables in MySQL and how to blueprint your databases using proper schema formatting techniques. You learn to conduct basic CRUD operations in addition to using foreign and primary keys to establish relationships between tables in a given database.

Sometimes we use to start learning something new very straight, as learning to code before learning the logic or some introductory course like this, but any pathway you choose a great introductory courses like this are always a best way to lay foundations of knowledge.

I think maybe a few different questions could be added to the final quiz for each weekly module, because there are some questions that are the same between the practice quizzes and the final weekly module quiz. overall this is a good course for beginners!

Excellent course, the narrator does a great job explaining the course. The overall structure of the course is well balanced between short videos, lectures, quizzes and practice labs. I just wish they would have added a few more lab activities.

A good high-level course. Very basic information, so while it provides good grounding for anyone unfamiliar with the subject matter, anyone who has relevant career experience will probably find the class very easy.
