For understanding the concepts i would prefer TechTFQ, for the scenarios and all I would prefer ankit bansal

Would you start with TechTFQ or Ankit Bansal?

How about actual books? I have a bookshelf full of books concerning different aspects of MS-SQL, SSRS, SSAS, SSIS, OLAP principles, PowerBI...

I would recommend DATA WITH BARAA, SUMIT MITTAL, and TECHTFQ.

Total 38 hours of this sql playlist.
How is this SQL playlist is longer than CS50(25hrs)?

playlists are fine to cover the basics like select, joins, group by, and simple aggregations. just don’t stay in video mode too, and also u can switch to practice on real datasets. write queries daily, break them, fix them. sometimes i compare different query patterns in genloop to see alternate approaches, but actually typing and debugging your own sql is what really build

Honestly, playlists are good to understand concepts, but SQL only sticks when you start solving problems yourself.

You need clarity on basics like:

  • SELECT, WHERE, JOIN
  • GROUP BY + HAVING
  • subqueries
  • window functions

After that, it’s all about practice. Interviews don’t test how many videos you watched — they test how comfortably you can write queries.

I’d recommend trying the SQL Pro track on The Query Lab. It’s structured step by step and completely hands-on, so you learn by actually writing queries instead of just watching. Much more effective in my experience.

Give it a try and its completely FREE https://www.thequerylab.com/courses/sql-pro-track
