Hi, I'm Ben, and in this course we're
going to practice writing SQL reports.

2
00:00:00.975 --> 00:00:03.505
And we're going to do it from
the perspective of a business analyst

3
00:00:03.505 --> 00:00:04.668
at a school.

4
00:00:04.668 --> 00:00:08.080
Like many organizations,
schools have a lot of data, and

5
00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:10.250
they often need help of
making sense of it all.

6
00:00:10.250 --> 00:00:13.160
Writing reports for class sizes,
getting students' schedules, or

7
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:15.830
maybe even just figuring out what's for
lunch.

8
00:00:15.830 --> 00:00:18.454
These questions can all be
answered by data in the database.

9
00:00:18.454 --> 00:00:23.200
And it's going to be your job as
a business analyst to answer them.

10
00:00:23.200 --> 00:00:25.160
These days, data is everywhere.

11
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.850
And while this course is centered
around a fictional school,

12
00:00:27.850 --> 00:00:30.000
the SQL skills you use here will apply
equally well to any other field.
