SQL 101: A Hands-on Introduction for Institutional Researchers
Date and Time: Wednesday, June 10 from 1:30-4:30pm
Cost: $75
Description: Institutional researchers with little or no SQL experience will explore the fundamentals of SQL through interactive exercises. Using an online SQL tool, participants will utilize a sample student database and execute basic SQL queries to manage, filter, and analyze data. The session focuses on building a solid SQL foundation while providing practical skills directly applicable to real-world data analysis tasks. Attendees will learn how to retrieve, filter, and summarize data from relational databases, join tables, and apply conditional logic. Step-by-step instructions, practical exercises, and sample code will allow participants to follow along and practice each new skill in real time.
Outcomes: By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
• Retrieve, filter, and organize data from relational databases using fundamental SQL commands like SELECT, FROM, WHERE, and ORDER BY.
• Join tables, apply conditional logic, and summarize data through aggregate functions.
• Use GROUP BY, HAVING, and UNION to analyze and combine data.
Presenter: Emily Rhodes (UT Health San Antonio)
