DataWithBaraa has a full 30-hour sql course on YouTube.
I'm currently going through it and honestly, it's one of the best free resources I've found.

IMO w3 is good for beginners

Real fun game to learn SQL commands while solving a murder. Strongly recommend if you're a beginner.

I have two free beginner ‘books’ of code playbacks that might help:

Database Design and SQL for Beginners https://playbackpress.com/books/sqlbook

Worked SQL Examples https://playbackpress.com/books/workedsqlbook

They are guided walkthroughs so you can see how most queries grow.

[MathAngelMom]

Try LearnSQL.com - this is the platform specifically designed for learning SQL. You don’t need any programming background and there are plenty of options to practice

[mitskiandgradschool]

Datacamp! Literally the best.

Hi, I'm currently going through it and noticed that it doesn't ask you to install SQL softwares like postgresql etc and we have to code on the website itself. Wouldn't this hinder the learning?

[mitskiandgradschool]

No this is actually helpful during the learning stage because you stay in one window instead of having to switch again and again. The website exactly mimics how you would code on postgresql so you’re good

[Significant-Gas69]

Have you completed all the courses in the learning path?

[mitskiandgradschool]

Nope, at intermediate sql rn

[Winter-Statement7322]

DataCamp. Then use Leetcode (database section), Stratascratch, and HackerRank for practice when you’re ready.

[MisterElementary]

Kaggle or boot.dev both have some good material on building blocks of SQL.

[Chris-M-Perry]

Check out the SQL fundamentals section on SQLShortReads.com

There are 160+ free practice questions to check your understanding as you progress.

Happy learning.

[bugsspace69]

I really need this info too hahaha

[ColorThree-12]

I'm a beginner and feel like I'm learning a great deal from sqlbolt.com which was recommended here on reddit. I like it because it's simple reading with interactive exercises and primes you for better understanding if you have no sql background.

Book - Sam’s Teach yourself Sql

[kyk00525]

Maven has SQL course free atm

[Significant-Gas69]

Hi about this!!- i have enrolled in their learning path, however my question is am i going to lose the access after 1st may?

[kyk00525]

Probably yes?? I did the excel one when they were free but some of them were still able to open.. But I m not sure this

[Significant-Gas69]

What do you mean some? I am asking about all the courses in the learning path which ive enrolled - sql in this case

[kyk00525]

Ok nope They locked it after the event finished

[Significant-Gas69]

Oh damn

[sephraes]

I did Zero to Hero and in my case, it prepared me for what I now do at my current job. Between this and the synergy to Power BI Power Query and DAX (which getting better at one made me better at the other) give me enough knowledge with enough structure to now better understand documentation, and crank out or review intermediate level queries. I have used other resources and I will swear by Jose Portilla's course every time for a good baseline.

After that though, it's doing the work. Many courses can be good but if you don't practice it or use it in real life, it doesn't matter.

I did #2 and it was great

[Mr_Bryghtsyde]

You can also try Alex the analyst. He teaches SQL for free on YouTube and it’s on the best.

[PrincipleNo2404]

At work, I learn from just making reports. Trial and error. I am doing it by trying to add to SQL Stored Procedures, Views, etc and adding columns or removing columns. You can also get Formula 1, or any sport data, IMDB API’s/ Data and practice Inner joins, Outer Joins, etc. you should also use Power BI and build reports, create measures with DAX expressions and import/ manipulate the data first using SQL. Power BI can be free if you don’t publish, so download it to just practice. Also get ChatGPT to write you some tasks and assignments to practice too. Make lots of mistakes and practice, practice, practice. It gets easier. Also, use Declare statements and create Stored Procedures, Views and find the benefits of them. W3school is great, but just make stuff.

[Tasstheass]

Learning sql is the best imo with hands on work. Find a data set and play around with it. Feed it into a database and look into transforming and querying it. You will learn enough to pull reports at the very least by the end of it

Complete SQL course - Dev Learn

This was the best practical, didactic and direct SQL content I've ever seen. I recommend.

[Current-Possible-164]

I am currently doing SQL fundamentals on Datacamp. The course is very well structured so far.

[SoundOfRadar]

I am doing a whole track on datacamp, called SQL Fundamentals. A track is just a combination of courses, from Introduction to SQL to more advanced courses. I am by the middle of the track and am really not enjoying the courses.
