SQL Learning - Part 2 - Making a Schedule for Study

So going further, I asked ChatGPT to help me make a schedule that I can follow. It has made a pretty broad one, so I think I will refine it further myself.

Week 1: SQL Basics and Database Design

- Spend the first week familiarizing yourself with SQL basics and understanding the fundamentals of database design.

- Allocate 30 minutes to 1 hour each day to study SQL syntax, data types, and basic query structures.

- Learn about table structures, primary keys, foreign keys, and relationships between tables.

Week 2: DML and DDL

- Focus on Data Manipulation Language (DML) and Data Definition Language (DDL) during the second week.

- Allocate 30 minutes to 1 hour each day for practicing queries involving data retrieval, insertion, updating, and deletion.

- Learn how to create tables, define constraints, and manage table structures using DDL statements.

Week 3: Joins and Aggregation

- Dedicate the third week to understanding joins, aggregations, and grouping in SQL.

- Allocate 30 minutes to 1 hour each day for practicing queries involving different types of joins and aggregate functions.

- Learn how to combine data from multiple tables and perform calculations on grouped data.

Week 4: Subqueries

- Focus on learning and practicing subqueries during the fourth week.

- Allocate 30 minutes to 1 hour each day to study subqueries and their usage in SQL queries.

- Practice incorporating subqueries into your queries to retrieve complex and dynamic results.

Week 5: Views

- Dedicate the fifth week to understanding and practicing views in SQL.

- Allocate 30 minutes to 1 hour each day for learning how to create and use views in queries.

- Practice creating views to simplify complex queries or provide a customized view of the data.

Week 6: Review and Project Planning

- Use the sixth week to review all the topics covered so far and plan your project implementation.

- Allocate 30 minutes to 1 hour each day to review concepts and reinforce your understanding.

- Start planning and designing your chosen project, considering the database schema and requirements.

Week 7: Project Implementation and Refinement

- Spend the last week working on your project implementation and refining your SQL skills.

- Allocate 1-2 hours each day to implement your project using the concepts you have learned.

- Debug and refine your project, ensuring it meets the desired requirements and showcases your skills.
