Is SQL easy ?

I saw only a few lessons for SQL, so I wonder if it's simple.

SQL is designed to be simple. You usually write short queries in more or less natural language. The SoloLearn course on SQL already gives you all the tools you usually need. There are also complex queries, but usually they require more logical thinking instead of in-depth knowledge. You can't practice SQL on SoloLearn, unfortunately, because it only works on databases. There are some little interactive games on the internet such as "SQL Island", however.

Yes, it is. Even some non-programmers (testers) learn SQL.

Visualization of the tables can be a bit complicated, but the langauge itself is fairly simple

🔻When comparing other programming languages SQL is little bit easy. That's my opinion. 🔻However sql is a querying language therefore it mostly use to retrieve data from relational databases. 🔻And sometimes there might be difficult (😁 not difficult really more complex) queries we have to write when retrieve data. But learning sql concepts is very easy and interesting.

the sololearn is a great place for starting. you need your setup and practice area. download SQL Express setup: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=56840 and the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS) 18.1: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/ssms/download-sql-server-management-studio-ssms?view=sql-server-2017#download-ssms-181 from there you’ll need to register a database instance to tinker around with. https://www.w3schools.com/sql/ https://stackoverflow.com Two sites that will hold your hand through the vast majority of your questions

SQl is a pretty easy language but a useful tool to control dayabases. The syntax is pretty easy but you have to take some special care cause sometimes, some things can go wrong very easily. If you want to practice SQL then w3schools is the place you should go. It helped me practice during my SQL courses. You should try it out, if it is feasible. (I am sorry for promoting another website.)

Everything can be easy but first of all understand why you want to learn it and how will you use it. So again SQL is pretty straight forward and easy to learn. Enjoy 👍

I have been learning SQL for a month now. It seems pretty straight forward, but i wish there was a way to practice.

As others have said, SQL is overall pretty easy. For most people, trying to picture how the JOINS work in your head can probably be the more complicated part of learning it. https://www.codeproject.com/KB/database/Visual_SQL_Joins/Visual_SQL_JOINS_orig.jpg ^Here is a diagram so you can get a visual of what the JOINS look like and how they work.

Yeah it's syntax is pretty simple just like normal English but complexity comes with complicated problems believe that.
