MySQL Developer Techniques with Advanced Stored Procedures NEW

This combined course will guide developers through advanced level MySQL Developer topics. Lessons from the MySQL Developer Techniques and MySQL Advanced Stored Procedures will be covered in one week.

Students will gain skills needed in The Developer Techniques course to create complex queries and efficient structures while improving the performance of their database applications. In addition, the MySQL developers will also be provided with additional query writing techniques that support creating reports that support end users along with skills required to create and utilize trees and hierarchical data structures.

Lessons covered from the MySQL Advanced Stored Procedures course will help students learn to improve the quality of Stored Procedures, Functions and Triggers in their applications and help them understand how to debug and optimize them. Labs are included, designed to teach students how to maximize the use of stored procedures along with the knowledge to discern when an application should contain stored procedures and when they should not.
