SQL From Basic to Advanced level

Basic SQL is ONLY 7 commands:
- SELECT
- FROM
- WHERE (also use SQL comparison operators such as =, <=, >=, <> etc.)
- ORDER BY
- Aggregate functions such as SUM, AVERAGE, COUNT etc.
- GROUP BY
- CREATE, INSERT, DELETE, etc.
You can do all this in just one morning.

Once you know these, take the next step and learn commands like:
- LEFT JOIN
- INNER JOIN
- LIKE
- IN
- CASE WHEN
- HAVING (undertstand how it's different from GROUP BY)
- UNION ALL
This should take another day.

Once both basic and intermediate are done, start learning more advanced SQL concepts such as:
- Subqueries (when to use subqueries vs CTE?)
- CTEs (WITH AS)
- Stored Procedures
- Triggers
- Window functions (LEAD, LAG, PARTITION BY, RANK, DENSE RANK)
These can be done in a couple of days.
Learning these concepts is NOT hard at all

- what takes time is practice and knowing what command to use when. How do you master that?
- First, create a basic SQL project
- Then, work on an intermediate SQL project (search online) -

Lastly, create something advanced on SQL with many CTEs, subqueries, stored procedures and triggers etc.

This is ALL you need to become a badass in SQL, and trust me when I say this, it is not rocket science. It's just logic.

Remember that practice is the key here. It will be more clear and perfect with the continous practice
