Course Description
SQL is a powerful tool for managing and analyzing relational databases, and a skill that every analyst, data scientist, and BI professional should seek to master.
In this course, we’ll move beyond the basic “Big 6” clauses (SELECT, FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, HAVING and ORDER BY) and cover advanced querying techniques like JOIN types, subqueries, CTEs and window functions.
From there, we’ll introduce advanced functions used for manipulating various data types, including numeric, datetime, string and NULL functions.
Finally, we’ll practice solving real-world business problems and common data analytics use cases by applying advanced querying techniques like pivoting with CASE statements, calculating running totals with window functions, and more.
If you’re looking for a hands-on, practical guide to advanced querying with SQL, this is the course for you.

I just completed the Advanced SQL course on Maven Analytics, and I wanted to say thank you for creating such a well-structured and engaging learning experience. The course was excellent — clear explanations, practical examples, and real-world case studies that helped me strengthen my SQL skills significantly. I especially appreciated the focus on complex queries, CTEs, window functions, and performance tuning. It was both challenging and rewarding, and I can confidently say I’ve learned a lot. Looking forward to exploring more courses with Maven Analytics!

🌟 Course Review: MySQL Advanced SQL Querying 🌟 I recently completed the "Advanced SQL Querying" course, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their SQL knowledge and tackle more complex queries. The course offers a hands-on, project-based approach, providing a deep dive into essential advanced techniques like multi-table analysis, window functions, subqueries, and Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and much, much more! 🧰Some highlights: ✅Comprehensive Coverage: The course covers everything from JOIN variations to advanced functions, such as `ROW_NUMBER()` and `LAG()`, providing a solid foundation for tackling real-world data challenges. ✅Data Analysis Applications: I especially appreciated the focus on applying these skills to data analysis tasks, like pivoting, rolling calculations, and handling duplicate values, which are invaluable for any analyst or data scientist. ✅Clear Structure & Resources: The course structure was easy to follow, with quizzes, assignments, and a downloadable PDF reference that made it easy to revisit topics on the go. Whether you're looking to sharpen your SQL skills or dive deeper into advanced querying for data analysis, this course is an excellent investment and if you're interested in mastering SQL and boosting your data manipulation capabilities, this course is definitely worth checking out! Best!

I really enjoyed the advanced SQL course going over the basics was helpful, but diving into the subqueries and common table expressions was a big help for me! I also really enjoyed how the course makes Window functions seem easy to understand.
