Recently someone asked me if I had a video explaining what a database was. I didn’t, but was curious. Apparently, this person wanted to learn a bit about databases as a layman, someone that isn’t technical and doesn’t want to be. They just wanted to understand the terminology.
I was about to record one, but then decided to see what was out there. Turns out, there are lots of them. Here’s a few I sent over:
Beginner Videos:
- Database Tutorial for Beginners – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wR0jg0eQsZA&vl=en
- What is SQL? – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27axs9dO7AE
If you know a bit, then maybe this one would help you differentiate: SQL vs NoSQL or MySQL vs MongoDB
A course on databases, maybe too much for most non technical people, but seemed not to bad of the couple I watched: Database Lesson #1 of 8 – Introduction to Databases
Voice of the DBA 
I’ve been meaning to put together an “Intro to SQL” SQL Saturday presentation together, but only lack of time has kept me from really doing it. I might just sit down and crank something out!
