    Frequently Asked Questions about Relational Databases

    Relational databases are groups of data that are organized into tables linked together based on data that shares pre-defined relationships. They create meaning by joining tables to understand the relationships between data points. Databases range in size and can be supported in a variety of ways, including open-source with internal or commercial support or closed-source commercial systems. Examples include MySQL, which supports basic Structured Query Language (SQL) commands, and PostgreSQL, an open-source option with more features, including scalability and security. IBM offers cloud-hosted and on-premises hosted versions of Db2, a relational database that's commercially supported.‎

    If you're looking for the most efficient ways to store data to model different phenomena within that data and achieve outstanding data structure and quality, learn about relational databases. You'll gain first-hand experience working in datasets, unlocking the potential as you go through each column, row, and database. You'll become proficient in SQL and database design while discovering how different types of information systems solve different problems. You can take that knowledge and use it to design, test, and implement database systems.‎

    Working as a database administrator, SQL developer, or data manager are three of the careers that you can pursue when learning about relational databases. It can also be helpful if you work in other IT careers, such as computer systems analysts or network architects. You might work directly in database design, or you could parlay your knowledge into a career with a focus on cloud computing, cloud management, or information privacy. There's a broad range of jobs that benefit from the skills you'll gain by learning about, and working with, relational databases.‎

    From gaining a solid understanding of what relational databases are to designing databases, online courses on Coursera are designed to give you a mix of theory and hands-on experience. Discover your proficiency in SQL for Data Science when you take a course from the University of California, Davis, or explore AWS Fundamentals in a specialization offered by Amazon Web Services. We give you access to a mix of courses, degrees, Professional Certificates, MasterTrack Certificates, Specializations, and Guided Projects to give you a thorough education in the topics and focuses you're interested in pursuing.‎

    Online Relational Database courses offer a convenient and flexible way to enhance your knowledge or learn new Relational Database skills. Choose from a wide range of Relational Database courses offered by top universities and industry leaders tailored to various skill levels.‎

    When looking to enhance your workforce's skills in Relational Database, it's crucial to select a course that aligns with their current abilities and learning objectives.
