Welcome to DATA 351: Data Management with SQL!

As large-scale data becomes increasingly prevalent, attention has focused primarily on analysis and usage. However, meaningful analysis requires that data be stored and organized for efficient access. This course introduces the fundamental skills of data engineering: acquiring, storing, and maintaining data repositories. While various storage methods exist, relational databases remain an industry standard. The course centers on creating, manipulating, querying, and maintaining relational databases using SQL, with emphasis on PostgreSQL. Techniques learned are transferable to other SQL variants. Students will gain proficiency in designing and utilizing relational databases for data storage and retrieval.
