    All you need to get started with SQL in a straightforward manner with an emphasis on practical progression.

    I think it is good first skill track for me and great start for others skill and career tracks. One thing that I think should be changed - When I was doing last course in this track - Database Design I was faced with things that I did not know, mostly about editing tables and dbs such as - Constraint, setting Primary Key, Foreign Key. After finishing Databse Design course and whole SQL Fundamental skill track I have accomplished another course : Introduction to Relational Databases in SQL where I've found everything that I need. Maybe this course should be in SQL Fundamental track and prerequisite for Database Design should be the same. Greetings

    Here's an improved version of your review: "It's a solid course with each chapter introducing 2-3 new concepts that are essential to learn. While this can feel overwhelming at times, I understand it's a trade-off to keep the course from becoming 50 hours long. I have mixed feelings about the last chapter, though. I found the focus on database management a bit frustrating, as it's less relevant to my role as a data analyst. However, I recognize that it's still a valuable skill to have."
