Question

Could someone tell me why should a business data analyst have sql skills?

Answer 1

A business analyst and data analyst should have SQL skills, because being proficient in SQL, will help you in:

1. Better understanding and interpreting documents that hold results from databases.
2. Conduct deeper analysis of the data in RDBs (Relational Databases).
3. Improving the understanding of data flow in information systems.
4. Helps in making reports and pertaining your needs.
5. And good knowledge of SQL helps in better communicating with developers and database administration.

I would suggest you take up the Data Analytics courses from Intellipaat which offers you online training courses that are instructor-led training with guided projects and exercises.
