This course provides an introduction to the SQL language.

This course utilizes IBM Data Studio on a Windows 11 operating system, but the SQL queries are appropriate for Linux, UNIX, and Windows environments. 

This course introduces SQL, including syntax, retrieving data from a Db2 table, coding inner joins, arithmetic operations, and scalar and columnar functions.

Learners will also explore the UNION function, inserting, updating, and deleting rows, and will use the create table and create view statements.

Students will participate in hands-on exercises to practice what they have learned.

Participants should have the following skills:

• Familiarity with the Windows Operating System
