Course Description

Database Management Essentials provides the foundation you need for a career in database development, data warehousing, or business intelligence, as well as for the entire Data Warehousing for Business Intelligence specialization. In this course, you will create relational databases, write SQL statements to extract information to satisfy business reporting requests, create entity relationship diagrams (ERDs) to design databases, and analyze table designs for excessive redundancy. As you develop these skills, you will use either Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL to execute SQL statements and a database diagramming tool such as the ER Assistant or Visual Paradigm to create ERDs. We’ve designed this course to ensure a common foundation for specialization learners. Everyone taking the course can jump right in with writing SQL statements in Oracle, MySQL, or PostgreSQL.

TONS.

Now, there are I feel couple of different approaches: There's data modelling from a data scientist perspective, which I have limited perspective of. But there's the meat & potatoes of data modelling from regular development / database administration perspective, and honestly any course, book or video worth its salt will start with that. Pick up any well reviewed database administration primer. You can choose any level of detail or depth. One way to get there is look at textbooks from university intro courses. I would use entity relationship or 3rd degree normalization as key words to check what depth it goes into, but I'm old and cranky so take that with a grain of salt :)
