To nail your SQL game, I suggest a 3-step approach:
1. Learn the Core Concepts: Understand relational databases — know what they are, why they matter, and familiarize yourself with basic concepts like tables, queries, and joins.
2. Practice Actively: Don’t just memorize; engage with the data. Run queries on small, real datasets, and see how the output changes with each alteration. This builds intuition. For example, I practiced with my own bank statements to analyze spending trends.
3. Stay Consistent: Your SQL skills will only grow if you practice daily. Aim to solve at least one query a day. This keeps your memory fresh and your skills sharp.
What I’ve discovered is that SQL isn’t just an academic exercise; it's a critical thinking skill. Over time, as I became more comfortable breaking down problems, my ability to handle interviews improved significantly.
So here's the challenge: dig into your own data today. What story can you uncover?
