Hello everyone! Welcome back to another tutorial series. Today, I’m excited to kick off our SQL tutorial series, which will follow the same pattern as our previous courses. If you’re an absolute beginner with no prior understanding of SQL and databases, this is the course for you. We’ll start from the very basics and progress to more advanced topics, just like we’ve done in our other courses.
Why Learn SQL?
You might be wondering, “Why should I learn SQL?” Well, my blog focuses on software testing and test automation, and in this field, SQL and databases are integral components. Nearly every application you test will have a database component, so it’s crucial to know how to interact with databases. Understanding SQL allows you to fire queries, retrieve the right data, and effectively test applications.
Software testing isn’t just about writing automation scripts or executing tests on the UI. It’s much more than that. SQL plays a pivotal role in this process. In this SQL tutorial series, I aim to simplify SQL concepts with real-life examples so that you can grasp them easily and confidently handle SQL-related queries.
