Is there a course that I can do after SQL fundamentals?

Question

I have finished SQL fundamentals and am not sure where to go next to further my understanding of SQL

Answer 1

The problem with getting better at SQL is that you need a substantial database to work with. Most courses give you 2 or 3 small tables. At my job I'm querying dozens of tables with tens of thousands or millions of records. Some queries join a dozen or more tables together.

Long story short, I don't have a good answer. I have tried courses on Udemy. They get outdated fast.

Answer 2

Has anyone used Udemy to learn code?

Answer 4

Exam 70-461 is what you may want. Online at Microsoft has plenty of study resources for you to learn. There are practice exams like Transcender that test your learning skills. I memorized and cramped everything in but flunked the exam. I think that is what seasoned people call a rookie who learn this way - brain dump. I did not understand the materials! I tend to do things like that. So I have to go back now and try to understand things. That is somewhat of a challenge as programming is a language, a new one and while the syntax may be understood, many of the codes that come about to me still make 0 sense. I read programming books and find I still don't understand many of them and why the output is that way. I find I'm like a 5 year old again, back to my A, B, C's. I understand papa, mama, da etc. Not able to construct comprehensible sentences, the meaning of paragraphs elude me. Still one cannot deny the impact of technology in this age. I find it remarkable and disheartening that a whole bunch of codes come up with a "insignificant output." However I know that in most designs, the foundation is the hardest part and I know too that there are plenty of really cool things a good programmer can do. So not giving up. And Yeah, it is a Learning curve!
