Description
This course is designed to introduce the Database structure and content of the
Capita applications, together with the skills required when manipulating and
interrogating data held within a relational database, specifically in the use of SQL and
iSQL.
This differs from ‘SUT – Super User Training’, inasmuch as this course focuses
primarily on SQL/iSQL syntax and can therefore be applied across all Capita
applications.
It will also give attendees the skills to access, retrieve and update information
contained within the database using SQL/ iSQL query tools. The course employs
demonstrations and workshops to reinforce the course content.

Capita databases or the concepts of relational databases is useful but not essential.
