What the day covers
SELECT, WHERE and ORDER BY: asking a precise question instead of exporting everything.
Joins that bring related tables together without double-counting.
GROUP BY and aggregates for the totals and breakdowns reports are made of.
Reading an unfamiliar schema, because real databases do not come with a map.
The day runs on a realistic training database, so people practise on data that behaves like the real thing without touching production systems.
Reading runs on databases. The software firms around Thames Valley Park sell systems built on them, the utilities and field operations businesses run scheduling and asset data through them, and the professional practices in the town centre report out of them. The common frustration is the same everywhere: analysts who know exactly what question they want to ask, waiting in a ticket queue for a developer to run it. A day of SQL removes that dependency for the everyday cases. People leave able to read a schema, join tables and aggregate results themselves, and the developer queue shrinks to the questions that genuinely need one.

Do we need our own database for the course?+
No. The course runs on a realistic training database that behaves like a real production system, so nobody needs access to live company data and nothing the group does can affect your systems.
Which SQL does the course teach?+
The core of the course is standard SQL, which carries across SQL Server, PostgreSQL, MySQL and Oracle. Tell us which platform your team works with and the trainer runs the day in that dialect.
