...I lied, Intro to Relational Databases is terrible and many of the questions are supremely out of order, are unnecessarily tricky and purposely obtuse, or require actual Google searches to answer [as the course material doesn't cover the quiz questions].
I'm no SQL / database master, but I've been building, using, modifying, accessing databases for over 15 years and this course is...not helpful. Anyway, the technical side of using PostgreSQL isn't so bad [units 1 and 2] if you are already familiar with SQL and its variants.
Anyway, since this is a zero touchstone course it still worth going through for the 3 credits. That said, many have suggested that the units be completed in the order of 4,5,1,2,3. I'd say that's a valid approach if you are thinking of doing this course.
