Like last week’s effort with Regular Expressions, I’ve been piecing together SQL queries for some time now and decided to work through a lite tutorial. I noticed the website with the Regular Expressions tutorial also offered SQL; so I jumped into SQLBolt.
I am much more familiar with SQL than Reg Ex, but there are areas where my knowledge is thin. Above all, it was a good for me to do exercises in a different domain, where I got to use arithmetic, as well create/update tables.
SQLBolt did a good job of breaking down the basics. SQL is a large topic, and the SQLBolt‘s format was a bit strained to capture all that was needed to understand each lesson. However, it was not overwhelming and the gratification the interactivity provides helps keep one motivated.
