    This was an excellent hands-on course. The problems were challenging and did a great job of simulating real-world business scenarios. It really forces you to think beyond basic syntax and understand the logic of what you're asking. The exercises on multi-level aggregation (like finding the average of monthly totals instead of individual sales) were particularly valuable. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who knows basic SQL and wants to learn how to apply it to solve actual problems.

    It would be helpful to include a downloadable database file for hands-on practice alongside the instructor. I’d love to see future integration with GitHub Codespaces to ease learners’ practice experience. Some instructions and database fields vary slightly—for example, one challenge references a field name that doesn’t match the relevant table. It would also be great if the instructor could briefly explain functions used in challenges that aren’t covered in the lesson videos.
