➊ Learn fundamentals ➀ What is a database? ➁ What is DBMS? ➂ What is a relational database? ➃ What are the different vendors for RDBMS? ➄ What is normalization? ➅ Different normalization forms (NFs). ➆ What is SQL? ➇ Different components of SQL. ➈ What is ERD?

➋ Choose a database vendor As a beginner, you will choose a vendor based on ➤ easy to begin with ➤ free of cost or very minimal cost ➤ simple installation (local machine or DBaaS) ➤ documentation, community, etc.

Freely available, ➤ MySQL Community Edition ➤ PostgreSQL ➤ MariaDB ➤ SQLite ✧ Oracle and SQL Server are proprietary ones.

➌ Install While learning SQL, you'll need 2 components. ➤ A database server where all your data will be stored. ➤ A database client which will access that data.

➌.➀ Database Server There are 3 options ➤ install on a local machine free of cost ➤ install in some cloud instance free for some limit ➤ provision a DBaaS instance free for some limit quickly available

➌.➁ Database Client ➤ Command Shell runs from a terminal mostly provided by vendors ➤ GUI-based IDE ❯ Vendor specific Oracle SQL Developer MySQL Workbench ❯ Generally available DBeaver, SQuirrel, RazorSQL

. ➤ Online Editors mostly available for DBaaS instances ➤ Database Drivers required for connecting from applications ✧ Install/deploy/provision these components appropriately. ✧ These are going to be very important in your SQL learning journey.

➍ Working with database/table ❯ Create a database ❯ Create a table ❯ Alter a table ❯ Add a column ❯ Remove a column ❯ Modify a column ❯ Rename a table ❯ Drop a table

. ❯ Various Datatypes ❯ Constraints ❯ Primary Key ❯ Foreign Key ❯ NOT NULL data ❯ UNIQUE data

➎ Working with data ❯ Insert records ❯ Modify a record ❯ Merge data ❯ Delete a record ❯ Truncate a table

➏ Querying the data ❯ SELECT ❯ WHERE clause ❯ Projection ❯ Aggregation ❯ Join ❯ Union, Intersection ❯ Subquerying ❯ Sorting

➐ Operators ❯ Arithmetic ❯ Logical ❯ Comparison ❯ String ❯ Bitwise ❯ Compound

➑ Functions ❯ String-based ❯ Numeric ❯ Date-based ❯ Comparison ✧ Functions vary from vendor to vendor.

➒ Database objects ❯ View ❯ Materialized View ❯ Index ❯ Sequence ❯ Synonym * ❯ Trigger *

➓ Programming ❯ Stored Procedure ❯ User-defined Functions

➊➊ Users and Roles ❯ Create user ❯ Create role ❯ Grant access to a user ❯ Grant access to a role ❯ Revoke access from a user ❯ Revoke access from a role ❯ Drop a role ❯ Drop a user

➊➋ Advanced Concepts ❯ Binding variables ❯ Temporary tables ❯ Common Table Expressions (CTE) ❯ Regular Expressions ❯ Pivot data ❯ Import data ❯ External tables

Where to practice? While learning, you should practice as well. ➤ Hackerank ➤ SQLZOO ➤ Schemaverse ➤ SQLPad I am also sharing practice questions on SQL. ➤ Question Series #➀ twitter.com/swapnakpanda/s… ➤ Question Series #➁ twitter.com/swapnakpanda/s…

Generally Asked Questions ➀ Why do you need to learn SQL? Despite the growing popularity of NoSQL and Blockchain databases, SQL is still leading. ➤ easy to learn and use ➤ used outside of RDBMS also ➤ can handle most use cases ➤ plenty of career options

➁ What career options are available in SQL? If you know SQL, you are a great fit to be ➤ Database Developer ➤ DBA ➤ Back-end App Developer ➤ Full Stack Developer ➤ Data Scientist ➤ Data Analyst SQL is also used in journalism, entertainment, tourism, etc.

Final Words ⬘ SQL is very common and much needed if you are somehow related to working with data. ⬙ These days, many NoSQL databases are also providing SQL support to fetch data. Learning SQL will be a boon. Good luck.
