SQL Crash Course - Beginner to Intermediate 

Check out the notes I made for this exact video: docs.google.com/document/d/1uJl1wVj2-knYJxK9ys6i9BQOfNJJrQxjXIc5VmiQc34/edit?usp=sharing

I am a nurse and I'm thinking about branching out into the healthcare informatics world. This was the first video I've ever watched on anything coding or programming related and I followed everything well. Thanks!

Amazing. I didn't realize it was an hour already before the tutorial finished. I am just disappointed I didn't find this video earlier. I was given as task to find some data by joining tables which I couldn't at first go, wish I had known about this... You explained JOIN so well. Very soothing voice unlike other tutorials where the voices of the instructor is too loud and irritating. Thank you Brad. This is channel is going to be my first contact for SQL classes. Hope you keep uploading more tutorials.

Brad this has helped me to finally understand the concept behind joins. There is something about you speaking as you type that makes it easier to get than simply reading it in some manual. Thanks.

This video was clearly explained ! I graduate next year with my bachelors in Health Information Managment & Technology and I am confident my SQL course will be so much easier now. Thanks !

Brad, This is really awesome. In one hour, no one can tech as much you. Seriously, I learn a lots from your video. This is very organized, informative as well simple. Appreciate your time and lecture.

hey man thank you so much your channel is awesome i loved this video i split it into sections of 15 and finished it within a 4 day time period it took me 4 days because 15 min of the video would take me an hour and a half because i would stop take notes, play it back, and took my time looking up and words i didn't understand. but i finally finished it today and i couldn't be more happy!

Well done Brad! Circling back to this and followed along with all the exercises this time. Just finished up your PHP Front to Back Course, and decided to fill in the blanks I had with SQL Queries. I learned a lot of new stuff, after learning some Fundamentals elsewhere. Onto the PDO Course! This channel is a Godsend! I'm Leveling Up Daily from the content here on the Modern PHP Web Stack.

Thank you! needed a refresher course of SQL for an interview (supposed to have working knowledge of SQL) and this video hit the spot! thank you! :)

There are Programming tutorials on youtube and there are Traversy Media tutorials. I don't know how you do it Brad, but it's impressive that you always explain everything, and it makes sense. It's like an one-on-one classroom. Big Like!

Brad I loved your video and love how you explain everything, further I will appreciate everytime you post a timeline of your video's topics. It gets easier to jump to what you are looking to learn since your videos are long. Thanks, keep up.

Dear Brad, Thank you so much for your hard work, I searched the internet far and wide for good material for my students. Yours is the only one I found to be good, every time.

This has been so helpful and clear for my data class. Thanks a million!

Learned more in this video than I have in 6 weeks on campus! Great intro into SQL!

Thanks for the course! Just submitted my project for a chance of a job interview. Appreciate everything you're doing. Thank you!

You were able to sum up what my professor took 3 months. That's awesome, man!

This is such a Godsend for me now. I was panicking about not picking this stuff [so called easy stuff] up after learning more complex stuff. Thank you for the detailed breakdown so that I can have a firm idea of the scope of the technology and it's applications. Chilled out, took some notes... I think I have this now...

I just started learning SQL. Thank you for the introduction.

This is by far the best training video I've see anywhere. THANK YOU!!

Man congratulations with this, so clear so easy so from the very beginning.. Helped me a lot! thanks!

Very good tutorial. I stumbled across your channel a few days back and I've gone through a few of your videos. I appreciate your style of teaching, especially as its more of a "hit the ground running" style in which you can start applying the training to some practical uses.

Dudeeee you are the best, i have been trying to get any keys about it to understand even the book was so confusing. Thank you so much for the straightforward info, the voice was so clear, the language you used was very simple and clear nothing hard no philosophy in it!! Do more videos for the intermediate levels and advanced, please. Keep up the good work. Once again, thanks a lot :))

Before getting to your video, I had a very barebones understanding of SQL. At my job, before our application switched to cloud-based, we were utilizing SQL Server to manage individually for customers (customers would install our application and manage their data associated with that application in their own independent SQL Server Database that we setup). When things would go wonky and required a trip into their SQL, we would go in and fix various things, some of which required running queries and/or scripts. From this I gained a very basic knowledge and as I was more and more exposed to it, I picked up more and more pieces. However I was never learned enough to pick up anymore than some basics because I struggle with syntax, and book learning simply isn't how I learn (because my brain is dumb like that). Your video is the first video that has actually been able to provide leaps and bounds in my understanding, coupled with W3 school courses. I'm certainly no SQL whiz kid, but that bit of light at the end of that tunnel is now visible. Much appreciated!!

Good stuff, Brad! Well presented and easy to understand. Makes me feel like I actually know something about SQL! Now I just have to take it for a spin around the block. Thanks!

You are a perfect teacher, your tutorials shows your depth of knowledge. Very inspiring in every sense. Thanks.

Thank you Brad, this is an amazing video which really helps me understand SQL.

Excellent tempo, quick, to the point, nothing too difficult to understand for this format.

I was wanting to understand SQL with no prior experience. I thought it would be a headache, but I actually enjoyed your video!?! I am now excited to learn more - Thank you!!

I never comment on videos but this one deserves it 100% - I learnt a lot in this hour! Thank you

Brad, you're one of the best tutors on RU-vid... keep it up!

Grateful, Brad! As your viewer saying, me too, your explanation makes us easy to understand! It looks easy, but, in fact, very hard work. I enjoy watching your tutorials. To be able to understand something is very pleasnt thing. It's because of you! very very Thanks!

A great source of knowledge in SQL,love it.Great job ,keep it up.

Thank you so much, ur a great teacher, simple and straight to the point of whats needed in job. No bull. Thank you, keep up the great work.

Thank you man !!!! Honestly, incredible tutorials.

Thank you, this was very helpful. I'm hoping I can learn SQL and get out of retail and hopefully work from home some day.

good tutorial thanks a lot.. it's exactly what i wanted

I just want to say THANK YOU for such a wonderful work you're doing. I simply don't understand who can dislike your work!!! (33 dislikes??? let's just think they envy you ;) ) !

Video One, Day one. Got an SQL exam in 10 days and I'm terrified. Hopefully in 11 days I'll be able to come back and report success! *EDIT* I got 84% in the big exam, and so passed the module :-).

thank you man , i watch the whole adds , Im not sure if thats gonna help but thanks for such an awesome video !

Brad, this is out of this world, you're good at what you do. on my way to hosting my first web page, I like to tell the World it was possible because of you.

After id 3 was deleted, how would we go about re-entering values at ID 3? If we were to go back and add in a value like we did for all of the values at once with INSERT INTO tableName (columnNames) VALUES(......), would that create a new ID, or would that replace the value of 3?

All of your videos are an incredibly huge help. Thank you!

I can tell you HeidiSQL is a beast!!! I love it.

You make it very easy to understand ,thank you Brad!

Brad, Thanks immensely for the wonderful and easy to understand video clip on SQL.

No one can beat you when it comes to this stuff Brad! You surprise me on every lesson you make. Just so awesome!!

Thankyou for such a good and quick SQL refresher and reference course. Its very well explained in a simple, easy manner.

thanks, Brad today I knew some interesting part about SQL. But there is a way to change to uppercase and lowercase in JS, CSS, PHP (or python or what you use) and now also in SQL Is it an important tool for all of these guys must have.

Where have u been maaaaaan, what a great tutorial. glad i found ur video at last. many thnx to u.

Hello If it is possible please make and put your updated " SQL " tutorial in your channel. Thanks a lot . You and your all toturials are the best in the world

very well explained thank you for this wonderful explanation. :) CHEERS

You are amazing Brad, thank you so much.

thankyou so much for the video clear all concepts basics just wanna know when to use Customer and when to use CustomerS please help

It is over all wonderful.

This is a very informative youtube. You speak clearly, slowly, allowing a viewer to digest the information being learned. You keep it simple, which is good for learning or for refresher. In the use of sum (age) = 185, you stated that you didn't know what the sum of age could be used for. In a lot of cases, numeric summations like the example have been used as "hash totals", to ensure that all records were processed; this was a very common practice in the days of flat files and mainframe computer processing. Back in the day, such a "hash total" could have been printed on greenbar paper of the batch job, and used as a control total by batch control analysts, who would confirm that all processing performed in the batch cycle was accurate. This control total was then passed thru feeder applications downstream, which would also calculate the sum, and everything in the batch cycle should have completed with the same summed up age value of 185. Thanks for your time in developing this video. Recommended subscription.

Great tutorial, incredibly Helpful!!!!!!!!

I found hier all I needed, no more no less. thanks a lot .

Thanks a bunch for great work Brad.

Great crash course. Thank you!

Such a seriously great video thank you!

Really fast way to learn SQL. Thank you!

thanks brad for making our life easier

great tutorial, easy to understand. Thanks!

Thanks bro, you make this seem too easy, especially the joins

Perfect video. DB seems too easy with this video. Big hep. Thanks for sharing

To add to Matt McRae's comment, I spent thousands of dollars to attend a coding boot camp associated with a prestigious university only for after every class to end up on RU-vid watching your videos because the instructors at my boot camp are great at coding, but can't teach. Knowing how to code does not mean you will be great at teaching it. You sir, are good at both skills. THANK YOU!

Nice and slow. Thank you for doing this for us.

This course was excellent. Thank you.

Your content is to the point and concepts are well covered in an hour. Please share some video link of intermediate to advance if you have any

a must thank , thank you for easy and quick tutorial i really like !

GREAT TUTORIAL thanks very much do you a course on the same topic but more into depth
