r/SQL on Reddit: Best bootcamp to learn SQL (spark SQL)

June 21, 2024 -

Title pretty much explains it. For context I’m in sales and have worked in data for 6 years (3 in BI, 3 in data/ai) I very much understand the strategy “theory” of sql/warehousing but I can’t do more than run the most basic queries. I’ve read fundamentals of data engineering, a few lessons from peers, but I want to learn more. Any recommendations would be great. I have a budget of 1k. My goal is to complete all three analysts certifications in Databricks academy.

I like w3 schools and SQLBolt is good too

https://www.w3schools.com/sql/ is the best hands-on based training to learn SQL that works for most relational databases. If you want to learn SQL for broader data analysis that leans towards big data and data science, then https://www.coursera.org/specializations/learn-sql-basics-data-science is one of the best ones with a capstone project and a certificate.

r/SQL on Reddit: Best paid SQL beginner courses?

September 13, 2023 -

Hi there! I'm a non-technical employee at a small startup (very, very basic SQL skills) and my company is offering to pay for a course to help me learn SQL so I can uplevel my techincal skills. I was wondering if anyone has good experiences with online courses, particularly paid ones?

I would love to do some sort of online college bootcamp with live online training that is several weeks/months but those are around $10kish and I think that's a little out of their price range. Some kind of price range ~$5k or below I think would be doable. Does anyone have any good recommendations?

Learnsql.com the UI is fully interactive if you like learning that way. I do and find it to be the most useful in quickly picking up querying concepts. They have hundreds of different courses ranging from BA, T-SQL, Advanced, Beginner, Reporting, etc. They have sample courses to try and have discounted rates for students/corporate members. Just bit the bullet recently and purchased it.

April 28, 2020 -

I'm looking at the following two courses:

Khan Academy - Intro to SQL

https://www.khanacademy.org/computing/computer-programming/sql

Jose Portilla - The Complete SQL Bootcamp 2020: Go from Zero to Hero (Udemy)

https://www.udemy.com/course/the-complete-sql-bootcamp/

I'm pretty confident they are both good courses but I'm always happy to hear a second opinion :)

I actually owe quite a bit of my career to Jose Portilla. I think $40 worth of his content was worth more than 10 credit hours of masters level data science.

I have not done Jose Portilla’s SQL course but I’ve done some of his python courses and that guy is legit. Well spent $10 whenever you buy a course from him. Colt Steele also has an easy to follow SQL course, however if you already have some basic knowledge, his course can be a bit too easy.

Hi guys,

The company I work for is willing to pay for a course related to SQL. I am aware that they are free alternatives but I would like to find a great paid course to take because it would serve as an extra layer of motivation to follow through and complete the course.

Any recommendations?

Edit: Would love something that combines Python as well if possible (currently dont have python experience)

There are so many online options, that it's not easy to navigate through all of them. Also, many of the videos out there are sponsored, so I question their authenticity.

Bro I’m doing “Alex the analyst” in YouTube has a complete course in SQL for free among other like power BI, Excel, etc. check his free data analytics boot camp playlist!

Jose Portilla’s SQL Bootcamp on Udemy. Wait for it to go on sale and then buy it for like $20-$30.

r/SQL on Reddit: Good SQL courses

July 17, 2025 -

I need to start learning database and thinking of learning SQL. Can anyone please provide some good courses paid/free to learn SQL. Thanks in advance!

DataLemur is a phenomenal starting course that’s free. Used it to refresh my SQL enough for an internal career switch to analytics.

Reccomend using w3schools for the logic, when you have a real world problem to solve, google and understand the solutions provided and pick/adjust the one most fitting. Please note that SQL is somewhat simple but yet not easy to translate into real world cases. Most educational material is preset for a solution, real world, not soo much. Good luck, SQL can be extremely fun and addictive.

I'm starting to have decision paralysis. There are many courses people recommend, but if I'm going to be paying for one, I want it to be the very best.

I'd prefer one with lots of exercises (rather than merely watching videos), since I learn best by doing.

Personally I took two different courses so I can get insight from two different perspectives. Alex the Analyst YouTube. About 4 hours long video, I took notes and practiced after each “learning” sesh daily. Khan Academy. I preferred this one because I’m a hands on learner. Extras: I played SQL Island and SQLPD for more practice. Imo, Alex explained things a bit too quickly and I had to write questions on the side so I could do more digging but visuals helped. Khan Academy gave me info that Alex did not. There are more out there but like you when I initially started I was overwhelmed by the resources and I wanted to pick the right one. My advice is just pick one and enjoy the ride! Hope this helped, good luck!

A good friend of mine built this course and published it a couple weeks ago: Master SQL Basics in 7 Days . He now has 4 or 5 SQL courses including: 25 Practice SQL Questions for Beginners and 101 Practice SQL Questions: Basic to Advanced . However, I believe he is allowing students in "Master SQL Basics in 7 Days" to enroll in one of those practice courses for free. Let me know if you do enroll and I'll ask him about getting you free access to one of the practice courses.

I come from non tech background, and might loose my current job. I’m planning to learn sql and start looking for data jobs. What level sql is expected for an entry level job? And how to learn it in shortest time as possible?

I did Jose Portilla's "The Complete SQL Bootcamp 2022: Go from Hero to Zero on Udemy. Started my first data engineer role two weeks ago.

Definitely stratascratch. Nothing comes close to it in my case.

r/SQL on Reddit: What SQL course do you recommend for beginners?

March 22, 2025 -

As the title states, which course helped you when you first started learning SQL?

I just got to the capstone portion of the Google data analytics course, but want to get more proficient with SQL and Python first before I tackle a project. I seen a lot of posts online of people that became stumped when they got to the project section. I want to create my own project and not use one of their “templates” as you will.

Right now I’m in between paying $20 for the Udemy 0- Hero course or take the free route and do the Alex the analyst videos.

I guess it all depends on my learning style, I prefer being able to take notes and write out functions on pen and paper.

I know the best way to learn is to do, just want to get comfortable with all the terms and flows before really practicing.

Anyways any input would be appreciated,

Thanks!

Use W3schools and YouTube tutorials by Data With Baraa. All free

I learned the basics at my university. When I got an offer I rushed through sql.ex tutorial course and then did some part of the rating exercises. But I needed to dive deep into databases, so the tutorial exercises are probably sufficient for most people Honestly, there is nothing more effective for learning than being an employee with an urgent need to figure out how the project works

Hey everyone,

I’m a student studying IT Infrastructure with a focus on systems, aiming for Systems Analyst or Application Support Analyst roles. I’m a beginner in SQL and currently deciding between LearnSQL.com and DataCamp to build my skills.

Which platform would be better for career growth? Should I use both? I’m also planning to learn Data Visualization (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) is DataCamp good for that too?

Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

I used edx.org to learn power query, powerbi, and sql (for free). No one platform is better. Use several and don’t forget YouTube. It’s nice to put you completed a certificate on your resume but it’s better to be competent and confident in the skills you learned. Good luck.

r/SQL on Reddit: Are there absolutely complete SQL Server online courses?

July 2, 2024 -

Every time I check an online SQL course, it seems to teach only a sample of what SQL Server actual contains - be it an introductory or an advanced course. So, is there a course or a group of online courses that teach SQL Server from A to Z? Not just queries, but also the database management.

That’s a bit like asking if there are any Universities with programs that give you all of the degrees they offer.

SQL is a very vast topic with a large array of specializations. Some of the larger training companies will cover all of the topics, but never all in the same course, or even set of courses.

I’ve taken a few of the LinkedIn SQL courses and they’re pretty good; it’s online with a virtual instructor. You can sign up for a trial I think.

r/learnprogramming on Reddit: Any bootcamp recommendations for sql developer? Any help will be greatly appreciated

September 15, 2023 -

Folks, could you please recommend a bootcamp for SQL developer? I am a beginner.

I’m not aware of any program that teaches just SQL. Backend web development courses like we have at Turing are going to teach some SQL fundamentals but don’t go as deep as someone who’s going to be a proper database administrator. Data Science courses also will do some SQL but also not super deep.

data camp is a paid but extremely good course on SQL. i did their introduction to sql and intermediate sql courses and they, i think, cover the vast majority of what you need to know. they do have more advanced courses on sql as well so you will likely find everything you need there they also specialize in data analysis stuff so you are able to learn about other tools data analysts use like R and machine learning, and they have certifications you can get, so they may be worth looking into if being a data analyst is what your goal is

I’m mostly looking for one that’s very interactive and with lots of practice. Not really interested in something that’s just watching videos or reading. What’s out there? I don’t mind if it’s paid as long as it’s high quality.

I took dozens to figure out the best one for my team and https://mode.com/sql-tutorial/ consistently was my favorite at explaining concepts. Consider datacamp as well, but Mode’s SQL tutorial was a great balance of topic, guided exercises & practice.

July 16, 2018 - The SQL course really helps introduce basic operators, aggregate functions and joins and gives examples of how they can be used in a business setting. He also goes into string functions and date functions but I have found the best way to learn those is to learn them as and when I need them in my queries.
