You’ll start by covering the basics of SQL such as how to create a database, how to insert, query, and update data. You’ll also learn fundamental concepts that developers and data scientists use everyday such as multi-table operations, nested queries, and how to set up views. 

Throughout, you’ll get to execute SQL queries in your browser and see results in real-time - you won’t need to worry about set-up.

At the end of this course, you’ll also get some hands-on practice with common SQL interview questions, so when the time comes, you’ll be ready and confident to answer any question that comes your way. Let’s get started!

An Introductory Guide to SQL

## ORDER BY Clause   
In the previous couple of sections, we have seen how to query data from a table. The retrieved rows aren't printed in any particular order. The __ORDER BY__ clause allows us to print the retrieved rows in an orderly fashion based on the criteria we specify.


### Example Syntax
> SELECT **col1, col2, ... coln**  
>
> FROM **table**
>
> WHERE **col3 LIKE "%some-string%"**
>
> ORDER BY **col3**
