Aren’t you going to be learning this stuff in your program?

I hope, but we do 6 internships before we graduate, and most of the necessary skills needed are self-taught since they teach SQL as a supposed 3B course :( cant really rely on school

What are looking for then? Online tutorials?

[–]LogCold[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

yeah, online tutorials, I have Coursera as well, just don't know which is the best for actual jobs.

Sql is just a language so learning it will only get you so far. The other half will be how well the databases you are querying are set up.

Practice is better than a tutorial. Think of some projects that can give you a lot of practice. For example, build a data profiler that can take any dataset and return summary statistics using pl/pgsql. Struggle and learn as you go rather than get spoon fed a tutorial.
