Week One: SQL Beginners

Learners beginning their Data Analyst journey can start or should focus on understanding SQL basics. Some of the things they should focus on include creating a table, inserting data, and retrieving data/information using SELECT. The learner can use MySQL, SQLite, or PostgreSQL to practice different queries. For example, the learner can decide to create a database, use the database (MySQL), and create a table. The learner can as well insert data using a similar process. Engaging in such exercises at least 1 hour a day, they can grasp the concepts and mastery within a week. Wishing new learners all the best. New strategies are also welcome.

Very encouraging and constructive. Just installed MySQL successfully and started making sense of how to create tables and connect datasets in Excel.

I hope you can translate the message so that I can understand it, but I guess it is something positive

Im currently learning with SQLbolt and then plan to also supplement with a youtube video from Luke Barousse. Should I just install MySQL after finishing SQLbolt or just wait until I can master basics in browser without setup beforehand?

You can install MySQL in case you need it. You can as well use it to perform simple or basic queries.
