In this course, you’ll navigate through databases and SQL, using the given scenario as our guide to transverse a variety of engaging challenges.

The scenario: Strategic shift to relational databases

Imagine a small retail store that started from the ground up. Initially, they efficiently managed their product inventory, sales, and customer data using basic spreadsheets. However, as their product range grew and inventory increased, the spreadsheets that were once easy to handle became difficult to manage. The expanded spreadsheet posed a challenging task to handle. The increasing size and complexity of data made it slow to load and more likely to have mistakes. Doing advanced analysis and reporting became a difficult task.

Recognizing the need for a more robust solution, they made the strategic decision to migrate to relational databases. This shift marked a significant turning point, offering them a more scalable and efficient platform to handle their expanding product lines and sales data.
