CS50’s Introduction to Databases with SQL

This is CS50’s introduction to databases using a language called SQL.

• Learn how to create, read, update, and delete data with relational databases, which store data in rows and columns.
• Learn how to model real-world entities and relationships among them using tables with appropriate types, triggers, and constraints.
• Learn how to normalize data to eliminate redundancies and reduce potential for errors.
• Learn how to join tables together using primary and foreign keys.
• Learn how to automate searches with views and expedite searches with indexes.
• Learn how to connect SQL with other languages like Python and Java.

Course begins with SQLite for portability’s sake and ends with introductions to PostgreSQL and MySQL for scalability’s sake as well. Assignments inspired by real-world datasets.

Whereas CS50x itself focuses on computer science more generally as well as programming with C, Python, SQL, and JavaScript, this course, aka CS50 SQL, is entirely focused on SQL. You can take CS50 SQL before CS50x, during CS50x, or after CS50x. But for an introduction to computer science itself, you should still take CS50x!
