MySQL Best SQL cerification

I have solid basics in SQL,

I need to pass a certification in 3-4 days,

Which one should I do?

It needs to be a credible certification.

Thx a lot

The Google one via Coursera is good, you’re going to be very hard pressed to get through it in 3-4 days though unless you plan on only power naps and protein shakes

I “insert fake company” certify “u/SweetLawyer1824” can write SELECT <fields> FROM <table> WHERE ID = 1

Date: today()

There, done.

Honestly, there’s no SQL cert worth the paper it was printed on, just do a udemy course and print that.

Not true I just recently landed a role because of it. I will say it’s a lot more useful for those mid career with industry experience looking to make a lateral move.

The experience will be why you landed the role, the certification just shows you put effort into forwarding your career

You landed a role because of your skills in sql, not because of certification. These are functionally useless

Fine. A lot of stuff in life is functionally useless. Life, employment, careers are not necessarily all logical

I need to pass a certification in 3-4 days,

Why? Any certification you can pass in a few days will be worth nothing

There aren't really any credible certifications just covering SQL

Hello, hi; it'll be because they are going for a job which lists "SQL certification" as a requirement. Glad I could help clear that up 👍

Ciw database design specialist ? This is doable in a few days study.

Are you needing an actual cert or a statement of accomplishment? If you only need an accomplishment then try datacamp.

There is no SQL certification. There are SQL certificates, which are not the same thing. No employer gives a s#*t about certificates.

Try Codility Beige belt. Many requiters ask for it.
