SQL from Basics to Practice - Intensive Course with AI

A three-day intensive SQL course with AI elements, guiding participants from their first SELECT query to advanced CTE techniques, window functions, and aggregation cubes. The program integrates AI tools for automatic data structure recognition, query optimization, and trend prediction. Participants will also explore SQL usage in external applications - Excel, Power BI, and ODBC connections.

SQL remains the most important data access language in every organization - from simple reporting queries to complex business analyses operating on millions of records. Combined with AI tools, SQL capabilities grow even further - automatic query generation, performance optimization, and trend prediction become accessible even to those just starting their database journey.

SQL from Basics to Practice - Intensive Course with AI is a 3-day EITT training program, delivered on-site or remotely - depending on participant preferences. The program is designed for both those starting with SQL and those with basic knowledge who want to develop advanced skills - sessions combine theory with intensive hands-on exercises on real databases.

Topics covered include:

SQL queries from SELECT to complex JOINs and subqueries
Aggregate functions, GROUP BY, and advanced filtering
CTE (Common Table Expressions) and SQL window functions
AI tools integration with the SQL writing and optimization process
SQL usage in external applications - Power BI, Excel, ODBC

Upon completion, participants will be able to independently create both simple and advanced SQL queries, use window functions and CTEs for complex analyses, and integrate SQL with BI tools and office applications.
