We’ve arrived at the final chapter of Learn SQL in a Month of Lunches. I hope that this book has been useful to you and convinced you that even with little or no programming experience, anyone can learn to write useful SQL queries.
Starting with chapter 1, the goal was for you to be immediately effective in writing SQL queries. With all the concepts and keywords discussed and used, you should feel confident enough to write queries that satisfy a wide range of requests. Now you know different ways to filter, join, and group data, as well as how to modify data and even create objects such as tables and stored procedures. I’m confident that you’ve learned enough to understand most examples of SQL that someone else wrote.
Still, the end of this book is hardly the end of your exploration of the SQL language. This is truly the beginning because the more you work with SQL, the more new, exciting keywords and objects you’ll discover. Where do you go next? Well, here are a few ideas.
