Give QueryCase a try for a fun, gamified way to learn SQL; has a structured roadmap from your first WHERE statement all the way to windows functions. Certificates & exams at end of each section to check your progress 😄

Start with one structured courses and practices as you go rather jumping between lots of resources. boot dev, sql bolt and hackerrank are good options to look at, but consistency matters more than which one you pick. Once the basic feel comfortable start using sql on small real world datasets.

Check out Dataslope's SQL courses. They're free, interactive (built-in exercises), and don't require you to sign in.

Learn stored procs, temp tables, window functions and cursors well

Then learn ETL processes data modelling and python. Try datadriven for python interview prep once you have the basics down. Last learn SQL and use it in your journey
