I'm currently learning Data Analytics and I had several SQL classes but it's a fast paced course and I wanted to practice more and exercise SQL. I've seen thousands of different courses but I don't know which one would be best. Do any of you who work with this tool have a specific course to recommend?

Edit: Or any other YouTube University SQL vids. There's tons of them.

SQL Murder Mystery

Use SQL queries to solve the murder mystery. Suitable for beginners or experienced SQL sleuths.

give this a whirl. It's a murder mystery where you explore a SQL database to solve it. It'll get you thinking about how to write various types of queries. It's pretty clever.

I work with basic SQL a lot and the best way I learned any was just to do some. Get a sample database, keep a quick reference like this one at hand, and just set yourself little goals. Start small; I want all the vegetables from this food table. Now I only want vegetables that expire before a certain date. Now also show me red vegetables from this table and show me their corresponding nutrition values from a separate table. That kinda thing.

Better yet, build a database yourself of things you actually care about, like games. We did caravan holidays in university and it bored me to tears. Putting your own game catalogue into a database is a great way to learn the ins and outs of what SQL does because you care about what's going in it.
