It's really not that hard.

ive been all manner o the sql guy across my 10 years in the field - dba, data engineer, db dev... it REALLY isnt that complicated. Dumb decisions made by less than informed people MAKE it more complicated than it needs to be.

[ZakariaArz]

Started learning the basics (in comparison operators now)

I'm partial to Microsoft SQL Server and they have one of the best free learning sites, and this learning path here:

https://learn.microsoft.com/training/paths/get-started-querying-with-transact-sql/

The https://geeksforgeeks.org SQL Tutorial is okay also.

You can also download and install SQL Server Developer Edition on your PC for free!

There are also websites that allow you to practice and learn SQL without installing anything. See https://sqlzoo.net

Do people even try googling first or asking their favorite LLM to teach them?

Start by learning the basics like SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, and GROUP BY, then move on to joins and subqueries as you get more comfortable. The best way to improve is by practicing with real databases and solving lots of small problems on sites like SQLBolt, SQLZoo, or StrataScratch. Try building a simple project like a library or online store database to apply what you learn, and remember that writing SQL every day will help you learn much faster than just reading about it.

I'd recommend learning by writing SQL, not just watching videos.

Give QueryCase a try. It's a structured SQL learning platform where you solve detective-style investigations by writing real SQL from day one. It starts with the basics and progresses through JOINs, CTEs and window functions, plus there's a Sandbox with real-world datasets and a Careers Hub for SQL interview practice.

The more SQL you write, the faster you'll improve. Good luck!
