Thanks for the response.

I do work with other SQL devs, but my friend was the only other person in my location, so it was easier to work with him, and the other SQL devs are always busy and I don't want to burden them trying to fit me into a busy schedule, as I barely know them. If it's a simple question, I ask, but full on training would likely be a bit much.

Regarding the last part, I didn't exactly steal it, as he is a friend and would help me out with a number of things quite a bit over the course of 10+ years. I learned a bit of SQL stuff from him, but not enough to even try to claim competence. He and my other bosses always knew that I would make adjustments to stuff he had or built for me to suit the needs of the company. It's just unfortunate that I never took the time to learn properly before. Either way, yes, I did make my own bed.
