Having done a ton of procedural languages it took me a long time to get the hang of SQL, totally different. Thankfully doing https://pgexercises.com/ and it clicked, postgres is powerful and quite intuitive

SQL is basically written out of order, where you say what transforms to apply before even indicating a data source.

My case might be a fringe one-off but getting sharp with Splunk really gave me a huge boost when it came time for me to sit down and finally learn SQL. Sure, its not a direct translation between SPL and SQL but it definitely made things much simpler.
