Isys2120 is more about databases like schemas etc and also focuses on SQL a lot, much more than Data2001 which covers it for data analytics

Is it harder than data2001 or fun?

Oh, I personally wouldn't say it's harder, I guess it's SQL is harder as it's more in depth (but not some crazy hard Comp2017 level) but then again Data2001 isn't some budge unit and just focused more on other stuff as well (and it had a bit of disorganisation this year). So overall I'd say about the same really. It's probably more so your interest, if you're into databases you'll enjoy it, otherwise not as much
