Any good resources for sql?

Im getting heavy into databases. Im a noob but i need to reach top level quickly.

Im gonna buy 1 oelr 2 books. Im leaning towards oreillys “learning sql“.

Any suggestions?

on www.codecademy.com there is a good sql course. 👍

Although I personally never buy language related books (they get outdated) SQL might be safe.

But SQL is pretty easy and a book is close to 30 bucks.

I recommend to make yourself a small application (mini facebook for example), and use the internet as guide.
There is people, relations to other people, there are posts written by a user and comments on those posts.

Dont even make a sign in functionality, that could be added later as well.

@heyheni ， is it woth upgrading to pro?

Ive never spent money on online courses. It usually seems to not be worth it.

@Santaclauze nah not on codecademy.

My wife used the "Joes to Pros" series. It has content from Pinal Dave, one of the most prolific SQL bloggers.

Depends on what flavor after that. I read sqlservercentral.com for a long time when I was getting advanced. They had lots of "stairway" articles, on indexes, common table expressions, good stuff. I'm sure there are similar sites for MySQL and postgresql.

Otherwise hang out on StackOverflow tagging #sql questions. Learn a lot that way

I just learnt it at w3schools, its enough to feed my needs

@wbrianwhite ， i never thought about browsing SO. Good idea!

Try Stanford Lagunita SQL course. It’s just awesome

I got gud by doing online tutorials. But the php js mysql o reilly(whatever the name is) has a pretty damned good section on sql. 10/10 would recommend

@uyouthe ， great resource as well

You should also have a look at some nosql databases like Redis
