Is there a track on online databases?

I am planning to do a project, which will involve a creation of a large on-line relational database website. Is there a track that might be helpful to learn more about this topic?

Until recently there was a SQL track. It seems to have disappeared and I have no idea why. But all the courses are still there: https://teamtreehouse.com/library/topic:databases

I'm not sure why Michael thought it had disappeared, but the Beginning SQL track is still listed on the Tracks page.

Glad to hear its still there. Though unfortunately, I can't see it. It doesn't show up on my view of the Tracks page and there is no option for databases when filtering tracks.

Odd, I found it by filtering for "Databases". Maybe it has something to do with subscription type, though I think tracks are available at all levels so there could be a bug. Can you get to it with the link I provided in this answer?

I can view it in the link you provided, but otherwise it does not display in my view at all. It is very strange, but I won't worry about it for now. But speaking of databases, I am getting quite interested in databases and I want to learn as much as possible myself. I want to go beyond learning SQL and learn how to use common professional database GUIs other than phpMyAdmin and learn how to design, seed and administer databases. Are there any courses or online resources you would suggest for getting started?

Michael, you might be missing other tracks also. You might want to make a bug report (see the Support page).

My first thought on learning a GUI would be to look for tutorials from the software source.

Happy coding!
