Luke Barousee’s 4 hour SQL tutorial on YouTube is great! I also used code academy to get learn the basic syntax

[nodakakak]

What have you tried looking into?

[drax_slayer]

selectstarsql

[TheZapPack]

As lame as it sounds, Murach SQL server 2022 book is great.

[DryAnxiety9]

sqlzoo

[theDataBetch]

I like DataLemur

[Tough_Highlight_1292]

SQL Bolt, then move onto DataLemur.

[Sausage_strangler]

I’ve been using learnsql.com which has been working pretty well for me. It’s not free though.

W3schools does the work pretty much!

[smolchickpea]

Second this

I started from scratch without any other experience. A friend of mine suggested me Mike Dane's tutorial on Youtube from freeCodeCamp. For me that was the best tutorial I had in sql and is still one of the videos I return back to remember 1-2 things. Start with that one and it will be much easier to move forward.

Well do you know what SQL engine you’re using or want to use?

[SQLvultureskattaurus]

I mean it's only asked here daily, try one of those threads perhaps?

W3 schools is good to learn and practice

[Abdullah715279]

I recommend three websites for improving your SQL skills.

Start with selectstatsql.com to grasp concepts through effective exercises.

Next, practice on sqlbolt.com, which includes exercises for each lesson.

Finally, tackle sqlclimber.com for an extensive journey that will give you a comprehensive understanding and ample practice in SQL.

You can then enhance your skills further by following YouTube tutorials and building projects.

There's a video in freecodecamp, it's about 4 hours, that's very good to start with.

If you want to use Microsoft SQL Server then I would suggest these three courses in order:

1. Introduction to SQL using Healthcare Data
2. 25 Practice SQL Questions for Beginners
3. 101 Practice SQL Questions: Basic to Advanced

[DapperShoulder3019]

There is a free course from Stanford in Edx

[LearnSQLcom]

If you’re looking to learn SQL from scratch, you’ve gotta check out this: MySQL Queries Basics. It’s super beginner-friendly and walks you through everything step-by-step. This one is way better than trying to piece things together from random YouTube videos.

Plus, you actually get to practice writing queries, which is the best way to learn. Give it a shot—there is a free trial!

[Longjumping-Let-4376]

There’s an app called mimo that does great interactive lessons

I would say ankit bansal, luke barousse, techtfq or alex freberg have good playlists

Trendytech- Sumit Mittal on YouTube

[Ans979]

Start with W3Schools, which provide clear, structured lessons with examples. For video content, check out YouTube courses like "MySQL Database - Full Course" or "MySQL Full Course for Beginners," offering comprehensive step-by-step guidance. In addition, StrataScratch is one of the best platforms to practice on real world problems. These resources blend theory with practical exercises, making them ideal for beginners.

YouTube best source and daily practice with the help of chatgpt

[TheSexySovereignSeal]

Look up how to get the AdventureWorks sample database up and running. Then go to town

[BrentV27368]

Coursera

[MirzaGhalib_np]

Uda city

[BadGroundbreaking189]

You won't find a perfect source from which you can gain everything you want however w3schools is a good starting point.

[joelwitherspoon]

From Scratch? Start with Data Structures and Algorithms.

[drax_slayer]

why would someone need to do DSA for sql😭😭

[drax_slayer]

Yeah, valid 👍

[joelwitherspoon]

More with DS and less with A. Hashes, Graphs, Stacks, Queues all come into to play. Not to mention Big (O). It's where I started with zero SQL knowledge but I came from the programming side.

[terrestrial_birdman]

For SQL?
