SQLite Essentials: From Novice to Expert

Unlock the power of SQLite and learn how to create, manage, and optimize databases for your applications in this comprehensive course. Whether you’re a complete beginner or have some experience with databases, this course will take you on a step-by-step journey to mastering SQLite, one of the most popular lightweight relational database management systems.

SQLite is an embedded, serverless database that is ideal for web and mobile applications. In this course, you’ll not only learn how to use SQLite to store, retrieve, and manipulate data, but you’ll also gain practical experience integrating it into real-world projects. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to build fully functional database-driven applications, optimize queries for performance, and handle complex data management tasks with ease.

What You Will Learn:

1. Introduction to SQLite:
   • Understand the fundamentals of SQLite and how it differs from other database systems.
   • Learn how to set up SQLite on your system and begin working with databases.
2. Basic SQL Queries:
   • Master the foundational SQL queries for working with data, including SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE.
   • Learn how to filter, sort, and manipulate data effectively using SQL.
3. Database Design and Table Management:
   • Discover how to design and create SQLite tables, define data types, and enforce data integrity with constraints (like primary and foreign keys).
   • Learn how to modify tables and manage schema changes over time.
4. Advanced SQL Techniques:
   • Dive deeper into more complex queries, such as joining tables, subqueries, and grouping data.
   • Learn about aggregate functions and how to use them for data analysis.
5. Transactions and Database Integrity:
   • Understand the concept of transactions in SQLite, ensuring that your data remains consistent and accurate.
   • Learn how to use BEGIN, COMMIT, and ROLLBACK for managing transactions.
6. SQLite Functions:
   • Use built-in functions to manipulate data (e.g., string functions, date functions, and mathematical functions).
   • Learn how to write custom SQL functions to perform specific tasks.
7. Working with SQLite in Python:
   • Learn how to integrate SQLite with Python using the sqlite3 module.
   • Build Python applications that interact with SQLite databases to create, read, update, and delete data.
8. Database Optimization:
   • Master techniques to optimize SQLite queries and improve database performance.
   • Learn how to use indexes and other optimization strategies to scale your applications effectively.
9. Practical Applications:
   • Build real-world applications such as a task manager, a contact book, or an inventory management system using SQLite.
   • Learn how to handle large datasets, implement search functionality, and ensure data consistency in your applications.
10. Best Practices & Security:
    • Understand best practices for database management, including data security, backup strategies, and proper query design.
    • Learn how to secure SQLite databases and prevent common vulnerabilities.
