For quite a while I was trying to learn SQL from books. I think I learned quite a lot, but until I actually started DOING it, I didn’t really get what was going on. Once you start using it you start understanding it a LOT better and your knowledge increases exponentially.
Sure, this is true for pretty much anything – but if you are trying to learn SQL (and while I’ve learned a lot I am definitely still just learning) don’t constrain yourselves to books. USE it.
