In this course, you will learn to map your business critical data from your application code to a SQL database efficiently and elegantly, and learn key SQL features to help minimize application complexity.

In this course, you'll learn how to:

  • Combine data from multiple data sources using joins
  • Model one-to-many object relationships in a relational database
  • Use foreign key constraints to ensure referential integrity

  • Model object inheritance in a relational database
  • ...and more!
