"This is THE BEST WAY to learn MySQL"

I’ve spent years perfecting the craft of PHP and MySQL, and I can ASSURE YOU that the surest path to mastering MySQL is through hands-on practice writing real-world queries.


This approach has successfully propelled many developers to quickly develop the skills needed to design and implement powerful database solutions efficiently.

The focus of this course is not to exhaustively explore every MySQL feature but to dive deep into the essential skills of writing queries that solve practical problems. This way, you’ll naturally learn a wide array of functionalities, including some advanced topics rarely covered elsewhere.


Moreover, the skills you acquire will be transferable to other SQL dialects such as PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Oracle, making your expertise versatile and adaptable across different database platforms.

What we will do...

The majority of our course is dedicated to crafting and refining SQL queries across various real-life scenarios. You’ll engage directly with the material, building and testing SQL commands to handle everything from basic data manipulations to complex transactional operations.

From the ground up, every SQL statement will be meticulously explained, and every decision thoroughly rationalized.

By the end of this course, you’ll not only have a profound understanding of MySQL but also the confidence to use PHP to implement efficient, scalable database solutions in any web application.

Like my interactive Learn Object-Oriented PHP course, this MySQL course encourages active participation. You’ll get to write a lot of SQL, test your queries, and see immediate results, which is the best way to reinforce and deepen your understanding.

Unlike other courses, where you might find yourself forgetting the material shortly after completion, this course is designed to embed knowledge deeply. Through active participation and continuous engagement, you won't just passively absorb information—you'll own it. This method ensures that what you learn sticks with you, transforming how you approach database management.

If you've experienced any of my courses before, you know I'm not just about teaching you to achieve results. I'm here to help you understand why certain queries are used over others and how different SQL functions can be applied to solve complex problems. We don't just cover the 'how'—we delve into the 'what', 'where', 'why', and 'when'.

Whether you're a beginner looking to get a solid foundation or an experienced developer seeking to refine your skills, by the end of this course, you'll have gained extensive knowledge and a fresh perspective on solving database challenges.

This is the first course of its kind on garyclarke.tech, and I am thrilled to guide you through your MySQL learning journey. Let’s make sure that when you complete this course, you leave with not just skills, but a comprehensive understanding that enables you to innovate and excel in your projects.

Introduction to Databases

So, what exactly is a database? Simply put, a database is an organized collection of data, typically stored and accessed electronically from a computer system.

Selecting and Filtering

In any relational database, retrieving specific information is one of the most common tasks. The SELECT statement is the cornerstone of this process, allowing you to pull data from tables in various ways.

Left Joins

Understanding how to effectively use LEFT JOIN will enable you to merge and analyze data from multiple tables, even when there are no corresponding entries in both tables.

Many to Many Relationships

A many-to-many relationship occurs when multiple records in one table can relate to multiple records in another table

Create a Reusable Connection Class

Connection classes serve as a bridge between PHP applications and databases, handling all interactions through a single gateway. By encapsulating the connection logic within a class, we abstract the complexities of database connections from the main application logic.

Stored Procedures

Stored procedures are similar to functions in programming languages, allowing you to perform complex operations directly in the database by calling a single procedure.

Who am I?

Hello and thank you so much for checking out my work. My name is Gary Clarke and I'm a software developer with many years experience, primarily in PHP. I started creating video tutorials during lockdown in 2020 because I wanted the challenge of being able to explain complex / technical subjects to others in a way which is easy to understand and remember.

At this moment in time, my videos have been watched over a million times and I intend to keep creating new and improved content and teaching more and more new people. It would be my pleasure to see you on the inside of one of my courses.
