SQL for People Who Hate Spreadsheets

Pull your own data without waiting for anyone

Four short lessons that cover the SQL you need for most real reporting questions: selecting, filtering, grouping and joining. Every lesson ends with a query you write against a small example table.

What you will be able to do

  • Read and write SELECT queries with confidence
  • Turn a manager's question into a GROUP BY
  • Join two tables without duplicating rows
