01 · Learn

What you will learn

Make a limited, reversible data or schema change and prove that it affected only the intended records.

  • Find the exact rows before changing them
  • Keep the change reversible until it is checked
  • Use constraints to prevent the problem returning

02 · Use it

Why this matters

Careful SQL prevents a small correction from becoming a larger data incident.

03 · Practise

What you will do

Read each short section, answer a quick understanding check, then use real SQL to solve a guided task in your own temporary database.

04 · Prove it

How you will finish

Pass the SQL lab and the module assessment. Your result is saved to your signed-in account, and a module certificate is created if you pass.
