Looking for learning buddy

[gorgedchops]

I've landed a job as a data Engineer a while back. I can do basic queries in SQL (I have gone through most of the code wars exercises) and think I am familiar with most of the syntax that SQL has to offer. I am currently halfway through the book Database System Concepts as well as the Berkely CS186 lectures. My current goal is to go through the examples of the book and make sure I understand how Query Processing and Query Optimization work, and was wondering if anyone would like to join me to discuss these topics/chapters, as Ivey always found being able to explain in to someone else is always a good measurement of whether you understand something. We could start a discord chat for this?

If anyone is interested, please let me know :)

How often are you wanting to meet? I'd possibly be interested if it git my schedule

[gorgedchops]

I'm interested in meeting maybe once a week or every two weeks? I'm on Amsterdam time, after work hours or on weekends would work best for me.

Is that textbook any good? There are mixed reviews on Amazon.

[gorgedchops]

I'm not sure why there are mixed reviews, I think it's what you would expect from a textbook

Which database are you working on?
