database / SQL course - self paced independent study ? - bluebooger - 07-19-2013

looking for a course in something like
Database Management Systems
Introduction to Database Concepts
Advanced SQL Programmig
Advanced Concepts in MS Access

(preferably upper level, preferably less than $750 -- just 'cause I'm cheap)

doesn't matter if the course is based on SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, MS Access or generic

these are the only online, self paced ones I've found

UC Berkeley Extension
CONCEPTS OF RELATIONAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS (about $ 800)
COMPSCI X408
Concepts of Relational Database Management Systems Course | UC Berkeley Extension

Athabasca University
Introduction to Database Management (about $ 1000)
Computer Science (COMP) 378
Computer Science 378 : Courses : Athabasca University

I do have some some experience with MS SQL Server and lots of experience with MS Access
so I supposed I could take an MS Certification exam, but I'd rather have a course

How do you make the confused smiley face? Bluebooger is looking for CREDIT.

After rereading the OP, yes, I see that credit is the objective. The last two categories are most commonly found in technical training courses. Microsoft Access in particular is too product specific for an upper level university education, although it might be taught in a College of Technology at a large university.
