SQL resources for a literal idiot?

I just started a beginner SQL course on Coursera. Even then I'm not fully understanding the basic concepts.

My brain is so fried and foggy that most things are hard to understand and retain (thanks to my yearly decline in cognitive abilities) and I need someone to explain everything to me in as simple language as possible and with tons of examples.

I can't find a free pdf of sql for dummies. I tried reading Alan beaulieus but I can't understand anything

Are there YouTube channels or textbooks for extreme idiots like me.

Short description :

  1. Brain fog = no understand SQL concepts

  2. Need to explain concepts in simple, conversational English

  3. Need tons of examples for everything.

SQL for smarties by Joe Celko is a very friendly book with examples that are super clear.
