SQL for PLC and SCADA Engineers course cover
FreeData and analyticsBeginner

SQL for PLC and SCADA Engineers

A first database for engineers who already read tags: what a relational database holds and how it differs from a CSV export, installing MySQL or SQL Server and connecting a client, tables, data types, keys and constraints, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE, SELECT with filters, sorting, limits and calculated columns, aggregates and GROUP BY, string, date and number functions, the whole join family, UNION and temporary tables, subqueries, EXISTS and views, and normalisation up to third normal form. The video lessons teach standard SQL; the plant framing, the practice tasks and the assessments are written by EDWartens.

  • Install MySQL or SQL Server, connect a client, and read a refused connection for whether the server, the port or the password is wrong
  • Create tables with the right data types, primary keys and constraints, and predict which INSERT a constraint will reject
  • Insert, update and delete rows safely, running the SELECT first so you know how many rows will change
