Welcome to this project-based course, Introduction to Regular Expressions in SQL. In this project, you will learn how to use SQL regular expressions extensively for pattern matching to query tables in a database. By the end of this 2-and-a-half-hour-long project, you will be able to use POSIX regular expressions together with meta (special) characters in the WHERE clause and the SELECT clause to retrieve the desired result from a database. In this project, we will move systematically by first revising the use of the LIKE and NOT LIKE operators in the WHERE clause. Then, we will use different regular expression metacharacters together with POSIX operators in the WHERE clause. Also, we will use regular expressions to work on tweets from Twitter data. Be assured that you will get your hands really dirty in this project because you will get to work on a lot of exercises to reinforce your knowledge of the concepts. Also, for this hands-on project, we will use PostgreSQL as our preferred database management system (DBMS). Therefore, to complete this project, it is required that you have prior experience with using PostgreSQL. Similarly, this project is an intermediate SQL concept; so, a good foundation for writing SQL queries is vital to complete this project. If you are not familiar with writing queries in SQL and want to learn these concepts, start with my previous guided projects titled “Querying Databases using SQL SELECT statement." I taught this guided project using PostgreSQL. So, taking these projects will give the needed requisite to complete this Introduction to Regular Expressions in SQL project. However, if you are comfortable writing queries in PostgreSQL, please join me on this wonderful ride! Let’s get our hands dirty!

Auto Summary

**Introduction to Regular Expressions in SQL** Dive into the exciting world of SQL with our project-based course designed to enhance your pattern matching skills. This intermediate-level course, taught by an experienced instructor on Coursera, focuses on the extensive use of regular expressions within SQL queries. Over the span of 2.5 hours, you'll master the use of POSIX regular expressions and meta characters in the WHERE and SELECT clauses to efficiently retrieve data from databases. The course begins with a review of the LIKE and NOT LIKE operators, then progresses to more advanced techniques involving metacharacters and POSIX operators. You'll also gain practical experience by working with real Twitter data. To participate, you should have a solid foundation in SQL query writing and prior experience with PostgreSQL, as this DBMS will be used throughout the project. If you need to brush up on these skills, the instructor recommends completing the introductory project “Querying Databases using SQL SELECT statement.” This engaging and informative course is available for free and is perfect for IT and computer science enthusiasts looking to deepen their SQL expertise. Join us and get ready to enhance your database querying skills through hands-on exercises and practical applications!
