Overview

The SQL & Database Basics Internship is a self-paced virtual internship for learners who want to understand how data is stored and retrieved in relational databases. SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language used to work with databases such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server and SQLite, and it is a core skill for software, data and reporting roles.

The programme follows four modules in a logical order. You start with database concepts, tables, keys and data types, then learn to write SELECT queries with filtering and sorting. Next you summarise data with aggregate functions and GROUP BY, and finally you combine tables with joins and learn the basics of database design and normalisation. Every module has written study notes with examples, followed by a timed online multiple-choice exam.

You learn at your own pace using a free database tool on your own computer, and complete a capstone project in which you design a small database and write queries that answer real business questions. After meeting the exam requirements you receive a QR-verifiable internship certificate that shows your internship period.

What this internship covers

  • Relational database concepts: tables, rows, columns, primary and foreign keys
  • Creating tables and inserting, updating and deleting data
  • SELECT queries with WHERE, ORDER BY, LIKE, IN and BETWEEN
  • Aggregate functions, GROUP BY and HAVING
  • INNER and LEFT joins, constraints and normalisation basics
  • A capstone project to design and query a small database

Who is this for?

This internship is suitable for complete beginners. No programming background is required; you only need a computer on which you can install a free database tool such as MySQL, SQLite or an online SQL editor.

  • Students of computer science, IT, BCA, MCA, commerce or management who want database skills
  • Fresh graduates preparing for roles in software support, data entry, MIS or reporting
  • Excel users who want to move from spreadsheets to working with databases
  • Prerequisite: basic computer literacy and logical thinking

Internship program

This is a self-paced virtual internship. You read the study material, practise the SQL examples in a free database tool on your own computer and take each module exam online whenever you are ready.

How the internship works

  • Enrol and get access to all four modules in your dashboard
  • Study each module's notes and run the example queries yourself
  • Take the timed multiple-choice exam for each module and see your result instantly
  • Pass every module with at least 60% and keep an overall average of 70% or more
  • Complete the capstone project brief given in Module 4 and download your certificate

Capstone project

In the final module you design a small database for a library or shop, create the tables with keys and constraints, add sample data and write queries that answer practical questions. Your SQL script can be added to your portfolio or GitHub profile.
