How long does it take to learn the basics of SQL?
The basics? A day

Basics as in? Queries? Complex joins? DML? DDL?
It's not that hard really, depending on the complexity. Relational algebra and set theory help.

Well I cannot really say what's basic and what not anymore.
>>52523214
It's covered in freshman database classes so it's probably basic

Complex stuff can be basic. 4+3+7=? Is a complex addition problem because it contains many parts, but it is still something a child can do even after just learning addition.

Are you really this autistic
Its possible in 1-2h really

lol you just got your bodies hurt. Don't sperg out yet, little Johnny. We still need you to make a complex join for things within the parenthesis.
Basics are very simple but it can get very difficult very quickly with nested joins etc

Depends on your current lvl.
Can you program?
Are you a shit programmer?
Do you use stack overflow copy-pasta to do all your programming?
If you can program and are a non-retard then you can learn the basics in maybe a week of just fucking around with a sample database for like 30 minutes a day.
Could learn most of it in maybe a day if you spent a few hours on it, but you retain more if you do a little bit each day.

1. read a book on er diagrams to learn how to create databases that are pre-normalized
2. read a book on database normalization to learn how to fix databases made by fuckwhits
3. choose a rdbms and create an example database which showcases the rdbms' strengths and features.
4. learn sql
You can skip 2 because you'll never use it. That should take 1 week + 1 week + 1 day = 15 days of serious study.
