Data science combines programming skills, mathematics, and statistics to gather, structure, and extract insights from data. Data scientists can use any number of tools, such as programming languages or databases, to automate the process of analyzing data, such as numbers, audio, video, text, and images. These data sets are then used to inform business strategy, such as delivering more relevant products, improving tech stacks, or personalizing customer experiences.
A key part of data science is managing databases, and database developers create applications that present data as useful information. Oracle's proprietary SQL and PL/SQL code is designed to optimize the performance of large databases.
By the time you complete this course, you'll be fully prepared to enter the job market as an entry-level Oracle SQL Developer. Some common titles include:
-
Data Analyst
