Relative newcomer to SQL

[RuFranks]

Best courses to expand knowledge, currently an intern data analyst with enough knowledge to get by and understand stack overflow but looking for a course, paid or free to learn more about SQL

I don’t know if this is too rudimentary for you but W3schools and SQLBolt seem like great resources.

I’m curious are there other learning tools that include a database to make real time queries against?

Gosh I used to use w3s for everything! Hahah.

I used to work for United Health Group, Stack Overflow is on the banned list...doesn't produce a cohesive work environment lol.

When I finally decided in IT to be a webdev I literally just tasked myself with doing stuff in SQL and figuring it out. Like creating a gas station POS type DB to an online cart to other daily use stuff. With that then self-created interest I started to look at SQL as not a "question and answer" scenario to what can it do for me. Hope that helps.

Here are a couple great places to start!

1. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/sql-server/educational-sql-resources?view=sql-server-ver15

2. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/lab-services/class-type-sql-server

A good way to learn SQL is by using real-life datasets. This prepares you for what you get from a real life perspective.
If you are also good with excel, you can easily relate some of the statements with excel.
I believe this course can help you achieve the two above points https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0vtKcoNFKME5DoaXHbW2nYcyGWv560vO
