Abstract
Nowadays data analysis plays a significant role in business effectiveness. Most of the data sources are relational databases, which may contain lots of records. Successful data scientists should know how to retrieve and manipulate such information.
This course consistently introduces students to database management systems, theoretical base of data manipulations, writing simple and complex queries. The course covers essential aspects of data retrieving and processing.
Course materials consist mostly of practical tasks and screencasts, allowing students to implement new knowledge in writing queries to one of the most advanced free DBMS - PostgreSQL.

- Able to build SQL queries in a PostgreSQL database
- Able to build SQL queries in a PostgreSQL database
- Able to prepare analytical reports on relational databases
- Able to preprocess data for further analysis
- Able to retrieve data from DB at application level (e.g. python)
