Welcome to the SQL Masterclass Free GitHub Course!!!
You can find all of the content and slides for Danny Ma's SQL Masterclass held at the ODSC Asia Pacific 2021 virtual conference!
This free GitHub course is sorted into multiple tutorials which were actually delivered using O'Reilly Katacoda during the live training (which is totally ah-mazing 🤩 )
To avoid any legal issues - all of the SQL live training material is available directly here on GitHub as a companion course which you can learn from at your leisure 👌
You can also see the presentation slides for the live training here!
Click the navigation badge below to get started - all of the course tutorials can be found in the /course-content folder!
CLICK ON THE BADGE BELOW TO GET STARTED!!!
Although all of the code examples show the outputs directly inside the training materials for this masterclass, you can also play with the data locally or on a few different hosted services provided below!
My recommendations are to use any one of the Docker solutions to best replicate the SQLPad environment used for the actual live training session.
You can also access the free DB-Fiddle instances below or you can also access the raw data here!
This is the preferred setup to access all of the course data in the desired SQLPad environment!
This same Docker SQLPad interface is featured in the Data With Danny Serious SQL course but with a lot more data included - you should check it out! 😉
We even include instructions on how to install Docker if you haven't used it before inside the course :)
If you have Docker installed on your machine with Docker-Compose, you can directly use the docker-compose.yml file included in the root of this repo to spin up the required SQLPad infrastructure.
docker-compose upOnce the initialisation is complete - you can visit localhost:3000 in your favourite browser to access the SQL interface with all the data ready to go.
Note that you may want to save all of your code in a separate text editor and copy & paste it directly into the SQLPad so you don't lose all of your code should something go wrong! 🥵
You can use this live Docker PostgreSQL environment to copy and paste SQL code from the code/ folder directly here to see the outputs generated for the session.
Click on the buttons below to launch a Play-With-Docker stack - DockerHub login/signup is required but all batteries should be included.
It's totally free to create your own DockerHub account and highly recommended too if you want to create your own Docker images in the future!
👇👇👇 Make sure you right click and open the link in a new tab if you're viewing this on GitHub!
Once the initialisation steps are complete and you see Your session is ready at the bottom of the screen - there is a chance you might need to refresh your browser or click just outside the initial popout window and press your esc key to close this window as the Close button is sometimes not working!
Next you can either hit port 3000 to use a SQLPad GUI or you can run the following to enter a psql terminal instance if you are so inclined!
docker exec -it `docker ps -aqf "expose=5432"` psql -U postgresIf you are happy to use the psql shell instead of the SQLPad GUI because you love the terminal - you can simply run the following commands to access the data directly too. By default, port 5432 will be used for the PostgreSQL database.
Feel free to change the name argument to anything you like!
docker run -d --rm --name="psql-masterclass" dannyma/psql-crypto:latest
docker exec -it psql-masterclass psql -U postgresYou can also access the raw data directly in a live browser interface called DB Fiddle.
Click on the badge below to get access to this free service - it takes a little bit longer to run each query when compared to the Docker solutions, so please keep this in mind!
You can also find all of the raw data inside the /data folder
Update: There are now SQL scripts for both PostgreSQL and MySQL - however all of the code inside the course contents is for PostgreSQL only.
The majority of the code snippets should still work across SQL flavours but you may need to tweak some of the queries slightly!
Postgres/init-postgres.sqlandMySQL/init-mysql.sqlcan be ran with your favourite SQL IDE like PgAdmin4 or MySQL Workbench directly to create the required database tablesPostgres/schema-postgres.sqlandMySQL/schema-mysql.sqlcontain the table definitions in case you want to use them also and load in the CSV files.csvfiles containing the raw data for each table if you want to import the data to another tool
Note that the two flavour init scripts are essentially the same - but MySQL has backticks instead of double quotes for table creation steps!
