I thought this course did a good job at getting SQL to stick in my brain, largely due to the relational algebra section. https://lagunita.stanford.edu/courses/DB/2014/SelfPaced/abou...



The W3Schools site is what helped me

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/

It has a database you can query and add to and what not.


Firmly agree -- I'm pretty sure I've said it elsewhere, this was a transformational course for me.

I got my start in product support where a lot of our problems could be solved in SQL. We were encouraged to learn it, but most people were happy with the most basic syntax for DML. I worked through the entirety of Dr. Widom's course and it gave me the fundamental data understanding to be a real value to the teams I've worked for, and I used that opportunity to transition into being a full time developer.
