SQL Training Videos
SQL
Set up your SQL environment for free using PostgreSQL, hosted in the cloud by Neon. Reach out if you prefer a different db platform: Visit Neon. PostgreSQL is where we will host your NFL database.
Python
Set up your Python environment for free using Jupyter Notebook, available from Anaconda Navigator: Visit Anaconda. Jupyter Notebook is where we will access the NFL database from Python and push it to your PostgreSQL database.
DBeaver (Desktop SQL Editor)
Set up a desktop SQL editor to make it easier to write, read, and execute SQL statements because web editors suck: Visit DBeaver
Load NFL Play-by-Play Data from Python to SQL
Once you have all your data tools set up, this video will walk you through the steps and code necessary to move the NFL database from Python to your PostgreSQL database. Once the database is available in your PostgreSQL server, you will be able to start writing SQL queries.
SQL Training: Introduction
Review of your SQL training environment. At this point, you should already have PostgreSQL database, Jupyter Notebook, and DBeaver set-up with NFL Play-by-Play data loaded to PostgreSQL. If you are missing anything listed here, please review the videos above.
SQL Training: Database and DBeaver Navigation
Learn how to navigate DBeaver to write and execute SQL queries. In addition, explore the NFL Play-by-Play database in DBeaver’s Database Navigator window.
SQL Training: Select and From Statements
Learn about the basic structure of a SQL query. All queries should have a Select and From statement. Select is where you identify fields to display in the output of a query. From is where you identify the table(s) that those fields reside.
SQL Training: Selecting Specific Fields with Alias Names
Use column alias names to clean the column labels in the output of a SQL query. This is particularly useful when column names are hard to read or when you create a calculated field.
SQL Training: Filtering Using Where
Eliminate unwanted records from a SQL query by filtering them out in a Where statement.
SQL Training: Summarizing Data Using Aggregation
Summarize detailed data into a more compact view. This is very similar to how pivot tables work in Microsoft Excel.
SQL Training: Filtering Using Having
Eliminate unwanted rollups from a SQL aggregate query by filtering them out in a Having statement. Filtering using Where eliminates detailed records (before aggregation) and filtering using Having eliminates summarized rows (after aggregation).
SQL Training: Table Joining Introduction
Introduction to connecting multiple tables together in order to use more fields in a SQL query.
SQL Training: Joining Tables Using an Inner Join
Understand when it is appropriate to use an Inner Join to connect two tables together. An Inner Join will be used when you want to display columns from multiple tables and only include rows when related values exist in both tables.
SQL Training: Joining Tables Using a Left Join
Understand when it is appropriate to use a Left Join to connect two tables together. A Left Join will be used when you want to display columns from multiple tables and always include rows from the first table even when related values don’t exist in both tables.
SQL Training: Subqueries

SQL Training: Common Table Expressions (CTEs)

SQL Training: Window Functions
