This video is a beginner-friendly SQL tutorial that shows you how to create and update a database table step-by-step.
Follow along with the hands-on code after explaining key database concepts and terminology. Because everything begins with a strong foundation.
You will learn how to create tables, insert data, update and delete records, and even remove tables (with some real-life use cases and tips along the way).
After covering the basics, I am going to cover more advanced topics, including the relations between different tables, where relational databases really shine.
Once the basics are clear, I will introduce more advanced topics, such as table relationships: the simplest one-to-one, one-to-many, and the most complex many-to-many — the core strength of relational databases.
Note: unfortunately, my camera stopped working when I got into these concepts, so this video only covers the foundation of the SQL databases, and I will re-record the rest in the next video(s).

I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback, so feel free to comment below, even if you have a different opinion or would like to learn something in particular! I will be happy to hear from you.
