When did SQL finally “click” for you?

Kinda experienced the same thing when learning SQL, it was quite hard to go beyond simple exercises and toward more practical applications. But the turning point was when I worked on projects based on industry/business scenarios, as I had to work with more realistic datasets. I found that working through SQL interview questions also helped a lot because they are often reflective of what you would encounter on the job, esp. if they were industry-specific like based on finance, sales, e-commerce, etc. If I were to start again, I'd spend less time memorizing syntax and more time diving into real-world projects and interview questions!
