About Database Specialization for Data Scientists course
If you are a budding programmer interested in data science, a data scientist working closely with content experts, or a software developer looking to get started with the database layer of the stack, this specialization is for you! We will focus on the relational database, which is the most widely used type of database. Relational databases have dominated the database software market for nearly four decades and are a core, fundamental part of software development. In this specialization, you will learn about database design, the fundamentals of database software, and how to use Structured Query Language (SQL) to work with databases. The specialization will conclude with an overview of future trends in databases, including non-relational databases (NoSQL) and Big Data. Upon completion of this specialization, you will be well prepared to design and build efficient and effective relational databases, populate them with data, and work with them using SQL.
Applied learning project
In Designing Relational Databases and Structured Query Language (SQL) , you'll complete coding exercises, review what you've learned, and describe the problems you've encountered. Then, in Advanced Topics and Future Trends in Database Technologies , you'll develop a big data project plan and explore the advantages and disadvantages of nonrelational databases.
