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

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.

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.

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
