Oh Goodness, please don't suggest the Stanford Database MOOC. They teach in outdated standards.


Everyone teaches outdated standards (eventually). The important thing is to come away with an understanding of the principles (which is what I interpret the OP to be asking for).

I took the Stanford course when it was first offered online, and I regard it as one of the best things I ever did. You're absolutely right in that there's a lot of newer stuff that it didn't teach me, but the database's documentation is usually sufficient to plug that gap.
