In this course, you’ll get a big–picture view of using SQL for big data, starting with an overview of data, database systems, and the common querying language (SQL). Then you’ll learn the characteristics of big data and SQL tools for working on big data platforms. You’ll also install an exercise environment (virtual machine) to be used through the specialization courses, and you’ll have an opportunity to do some initial exploration of databases and tables in that environment. By the end of the course, you will be able to – distinguish operational from analytic databases, and understand how these are applied in big data; – understand how database and table design provides structures for working with data; – appreciate how differences in volume and variety of data affects your choice of an appropriate database system; – recognize the features and benefits of SQL dialects designed to work with big data systems for storage and analysis; and – explore databases and tables in a big data platform. To use the hands–on environment for this course, you need to download and install a virtual machine and the software on which to run it. Before continuing, be sure that you have access to a computer that …

Big data is the one of the most emerging technologies in the world and this cloudera course will definitely help us to understand the hive and impala with practical.
Santiago J G M –
It was a productive experience overall and a good introduction to the world of big data. A good way to understand the difference between some SLQ engines and how to organize huge amount of data. I’m looking forward to begin the second one.
Abhinav S U –
Best course for learning the basic concept about big data and SQL.

If you don’t have any background about SQL and you don’t know where to start, I think this is the best course to start. It simplifies the concepts into easy ideas to be understandable.
Gianfranco P –
good course!!!

Best course I have ever taken

If you are an “absolute” novice with no knowledge about RDBMS and Big Data systems and all help from YouTube videos and other online resources have been of little to no help then you must take this course. It teaches you the very fundamentals of database design and builds your knowledge from ground up. It takes you from “What is DBMS” to a much higher level in a very short span. And Glynn is perhaps the best teacher you’ve ever met in your life! Give this course a try and you’ll be happy and better off for having done so. Good luck and “THANK YOU GLYNN!”.

This course was great, I have two years of experience with SQL since I am using SQL in my role of software developer. I’ve have taken this course in order to initiate myself to big data a field in which I am interested. This course was great experience, it has allowed me to really undestand SQL, RDMBS concepts, learn fundamental concepts of big data and be aware of big data tools used for analyzing huge datasets such Apache HIve and Apache Impala.

I thought this gave me a very good understanding of the fundamentals of databases and how they interact, update, and store data. This will absolutely help me later on as I had no idea about any of this information.

Great foundational course for somebody who has some experience using SQL but no formal training –– it really fills in the gaps.
Nils R –
Great course to help demystify big data!
Warren P –
Big Data a mystery? Solved. Intuitive and very approachable, the challenges of database design and logic for big data are explained. A good foundation to build on for Analysts and all others who may need to know.
Hu Y –
Good and clear lecture. Only the content is very basic and there is no hands on activity. It could be compressed to less weeks.
Bechir B D –
A very high educational level
Lakshmi N Y R –
Excellent course for big data analysis and concepts. I highly recommend this course.
Praphat C –
one of the best courses for SQL that I experienced. I studied the database in my uni but this one fulfilled and let me oversee the step and flow appropriately. the next module of this study is also good as well.
