I need to create database of a business till the end of april for my school work. Most of us just use ms access to create it, but I want to learn something actually useful. And well I heard sql is doing stuff with databases so I decided I should learn that. So.. umm... Where do I start? Will I even be able to learn that with only 30 or so days? I feel awkward

It's hard to explain what is SQL, basically it's a type of database and it's the most used Try postgresql, it's open source and well documented, many big companies use it You may be able to do the work in 30 days, but to truly learn it you need more time

Isn't SQL a language?

An artificial language do define and request from relational databases. >How do I do things?/Where do I start? I'd recommend doing tutorials for MariaDB, which is a free MySQL fork. >Will I even be able to learn that with only 30 or so days? You won't learn everything, but enough to be superior to victims of MS Acces.

Side note be careful to sanitize user input when you're storing it, SQL injection is fun until Mikey drop tabels tries to sign in

Either you go the old way by reading a book: https://mariadb.org/learn/books/ Or you read article(s) online https://mariadb.com/kb/en/library/beginner-mariadb-articles/ Or you go the modern way and watch tutorial videos like those on this one popular video hosting platform from google: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxPnGlIxYC8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxPnGlIxYC8 Whatever you chose, don't forget that practice is mandatory and the most important thing.
