GETTING STARTED WITH SQL AT LUX ACADEMY

Early this week,I embarked on a breathe-taking journey with Lux Academy on Database Management tools such as MySQL, Debeaver and Excel. It all began with a captivating lesson on the basic concepts of Structured Query Language, preferrably known as Sequel or SQL which is used in relational databases.The basic queries being: SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE with clauses: GROUP BY, WHERE, etc which manipulate and retrieve data.

The subsequent assignment made me delve deeper into these concepts to work on a project where, I had to write a script
that queries and sums up sales for a particular product and identifies customers who make more than five purchases in a month. This made me scratch my head a bit and collabo with some associates to crack it up.

The whole experience was awesome and enriching in terms of knowledge and synergy. Can't wait for next week's classes!
