Data analysis practice

Build an analyst portfolio that shows the work.

Start from zero or from the SQL you already know. The course’s final report and every case you finish become projects for your GitHub portfolio (free account): your SQL, the result and your decision.

SQL from zero: every line read back in plain words

A lesson screen from Start. Change the budget and watch the answer change.

Tomás: Which home products under €30 do we actually have in stock?

Try a different budget
SELECT title, price_eur
FROM meridian.catalog
WHERE category = 'Home & Kitchen'
  AND in_stock AND price_eur < 30
ORDER BY price_eur DESC
LIMIT 5
  1. FROMTake the catalogue
  2. WHEREKeep Home & Kitchen, in stock, under €30
  3. SELECTShow the name and the price
  4. ORDER BYPriciest first, top five
Desk lamp€29.81
Set of wine glasses€25.69
Decorative cushion€16.33
Ceramic vase€16.20
Spice organiser€12.91

Change the budget and see which products still qualify.

Then practise on numbers that look right

A practice company’s data with planted traps. You check what each number really counts, on the data.
