Here we are, another SQL query to write. You wish you knew how to write that mechanically, like you would a loop in your favorite programming language. Or at least have a pretty clear idea of a skeleton to tweak until it gives the result set you expect. So instead of working on your SQL query, you google How to write a SQL query? or maybe even How to learn SQL? Right. I feel you, I’ve been there too, even if quite some time ago…

So here my article where I teach you how to learn SQL.

I want to share with you how I did it, and how I continue to do it. There’s no magic secret sauce to it though, it’s all basic work. Again, we have to learn the main concepts and how they play together, then practice simple steps, and then build from there.
