SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for working with relational databases. It allows you to store, query, and manipulate data with simple yet powerful commands. With SQL, you can quickly find the information you need, filter large datasets, and even automate complex data tasks—all while keeping your data structured and accessible. This course is designed for beginners looking for a clear, hands-on introduction to SQL. As always on Scrimba, this course is interactive! You'll write SQL queries for the database of a retro car store, all the while solving practical coding challenges and gaining the skills you need to work confidently with databases. By the end, you'll be able to retrieve, analyze, and manage data efficiently—making SQL an essential skill for modern developers.
