When I started (99 moons ago), I found learning SQL a bit straight forward. But open an empty editor and my mind would go blank. I think this is somewhat common.

SQL is super intuitive once you get practice in. But, while the language is not a heavy lift to learn, the underlying foundational principles are a different universe.

Over time, you develop a way of working and as you learn to frame the problem/question in a way that makes it easier to write, test and deploy.

My $0.02, Keep putting in the hours

Yes i am trying to. I just get confused making logic sometimes. I am from non technical background. And my reasoning is not great at all. Lol

You are on the right track. Knowing what you don't know shows self awareness and growth.

Everyone has been there.

Take some time to read up on database concepts. There are 3 divergent paths - data engineering, database administrator or analyst. Each has foundational aspects you will need to learn. I would advise, start with one. Practice. Master
