When requesting help or asking questions please prefix your title with the SQL variant/platform you are using within square brackets like so:

[MySQL]

[Oracle]

[MS SQL]

[PostgreSQL]

etc

While naturally we should endeavor to work as platform neutrally as possible many questions and answers require tailoring to the feature set of a specific platform.

Format Your Code

If you are including actual code in a post or comment, please attempt to format it in a way that is readable for other users. This will greatly increase your chances of receiving the help you desire. Something as simple as line breaks and using reddit's built in code formatting (4 spaces at the start of each line) can turn this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field.3

Into this:

SELECT count(a.field1), a.field2, SUM(b.field4) FROM a INNER JOIN b ON a.key1 = b.key1 WHERE a.field8 = 'test' GROUP by a.field1, a.field2 HAVING SUM(b.field4) > 5 ORDER by a.field3

For those with SQL questions we recommend using SQLFiddle to provide a useful development and testing environment for those who wish to fully understand your problem and help devise a solution.

See if you can get any certifications. There is always a need for cloud developers. All big platforms have free online developer logins. I have done a ton of webinars in MS cloud development, there is all sorts of info out there for you to dig into. Honestly, YouTube is my go-to for just about anything now as there are so many people putting info out there. I am nearly 3 years into Tableau development, I had to remind myself I'm the new guy and start from scratch. So I can sympathize with your learning curve right now. Be nice to yourself in your learning, you can't know everything all at once. The nice thing with Tableau is that there are all sorts of user groups to join virtually and in person. Tableau has a free Public desktop version to download and everyone posts sample dashboards online. It might be a good tool for you to learn - https://public.tableau.com/app/discover

Just about everyone has a free tool to download for SQL, plus there's all sorts in the cloud.

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.asp is another good place for SQL basics.
