Overview

Oracle SQL Basics Training is a free, beginner-friendly course designed to introduce you to the foundational skills needed to work with databases and write SQL queries. Whether you are new to databases, preparing for analytics or IT roles, or exploring SQL for the first time, this course provides a clear and practical starting point. 

Through step-by-step lessons and hands-on practice, you’ll learn the core concepts of relational databases, how to retrieve and filter data using the SELECT statement, and how to sort, restrict, and summarize information using group functions. You’ll also work with multiple tables using joins and set operators, write subqueries, and explore built-in SQL functions to manipulate and format data. In addition, you’ll learn the basics of Data Definition Language (DDL) to create and manage tables and understand other essential schema objects used in Oracle databases. 

No prior SQL or programming experience is required—this course is designed for absolute beginners who want to build real-world SQL skills. 

By the end of the course, you’ll be able to write meaningful SQL queries, navigate core Oracle database structures, and understand how data is stored, retrieved, and managed. You’ll also be prepared to continue with more advanced Oracle SQL or database administration training.
