This SQL Training Singapore is Instructor led, conducted in a highly interactive classroom setting with many exercises to learn the practical aspects of SQL.

A PC or Laptop will be provided to each student during the SQL training class in Singapore. You can bring in your own laptop or notebook, if it is pre-loaded with any RDBMS. We will provide you with the sample SQL database scripts in our instructor led SQL Training course with SkillsFuture. WSQ Funding for SQL Certification course is available for Singaporeans and PRs in Singapore.

Learn to use simple use-cases and exercises to build SQL Scripts, which interact with the Oracle or Microsoft SQL Server database, and do Insert, Update, Delete and Select operations using SQL in any Relational Database.

We use MySQL database in the classroom for doing the SQL exercises. If you want, you can bring your own laptop with Oracle database, or SQL Server database pre-installed, for doing the SQL language exercises. Other Relational Databases are fine to use in this beginner SQL Training course too.

What Do You Need To Learn SQL?

Basic computer literacy is required. Knowledge of database concepts would be helpful but is not necessary. 

Access to a personal or company database or corporate system can be helpful to practice writing SQL after attending this course.

To attend and learn the SQL programming course, there are a few advantages if you know the following. But even if you are completely new to RDBMS, Relational Databases, SQL, programming and have never come across SQL, our beginner program in SQL is still the best program to get started.

By attending our SQL Database Training Course, you will be able to have a:

1. Basic understanding of databases: Familiarize yourself with the concept of databases and how they store and organize data. Understanding tables, rows, and columns will be beneficial.

2. Knowledge of relational databases: SQL is primarily used with relational databases, so having a basic understanding of how tables relate to each other through primary keys and foreign keys is important.

3. Fundamentals of programming: While SQL is a declarative language and not a traditional programming language, having a foundation in programming concepts like variables, control structures, and basic logic will help you grasp SQL more easily.

4. Data manipulation concepts: Understanding concepts like selecting data, filtering records using conditions, sorting data, and performing basic calculations will be essential for working with SQL.

5. Database management tools: Familiarize yourself with popular database management systems (DBMS) like MySQL, Oracle, or Microsoft SQL Server. Install a DBMS and practice interacting with it using SQL commands.

6. Practice and hands-on experience: SQL is best learned by practicing and working with real-world data scenarios. Take on projects, work with sample databases, and practice writing SQL queries to gain proficiency.

Remember, SQL syntax and specific features may vary slightly between different database management systems, so it’s a good idea to focus on a particular system or learn the standard SQL syntax first before diving into system-specific features.

We will use the MySQL or MariaDB SQL Database in our workshop. For Corporate trainings on SQL, we often use Microsoft SQL Server Training, or the Oracle SQL Training for the SQL Certification Course.
