What you need to know to get started
Learn to write simple queries to get the information you need to do your job
Do you often have to ask others to write SQL queries for you? Are you intimidated by the idea of writing your own SQL query? It’s time to take matters into your own hands.
In this course, you’ll learn how to write a basic SQL query from start to finish. This course will quickly teach you what you need to know to get started. By the end of the course, you’ll be able to retrieve data from multiple tables, sort and filter query results, and use simple calculations. We’ll cover commonly used functions, so you can format dates and text as well as calculate sums and averages.
These lessons will help you learn the fundamentals of the SQL language while also introducing you to some of the more advanced topics. If you’re ready to stop waiting on someone else to pull data for you, this course is for you.
Note: This course uses SQL Server Management Studio, but the language of an SQL query is not specific to any one tool.

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
