Learning SQL

Hello guys, so for the past month I was learning C#. I did some projects, and I think it is time to moveon too SQL. I am not learning through a course path or something; I am just watching some YouTube videos, and I learnt C# with Bro Code videos. It was very easy for me since I had some foundation in Python and I just transferred my skills. SQL is way more confusing for me. Do y'all have any videos or courses in mind I can learn it with? Keep in mind I want to learn SQL because I want to become a .NET developer, as I know there are different types of SQL, so just saying.

You can solve SQL problems online. After getting a grasp of the syntax, you can involve in project building.

Check with online SQL compilers

If you're using c#, you should learn Entity Framework Core, it's an object relationel mapper. You can write c# class' and make table schematics from them.

In backend engineering more than SQL skills the skills of understanding database internals are required like what happens to the data internally in terms of data structures when you apply an index.
