Do you need to rise above the noise and confusion of the complaints your DBA makes about the queries you write? Do you almost hear the voice of your DBA while you are dreaming, can you hear them say “write better queries”? Yet, what you never hear their voices say is just how to write better queries. During our time together you will be set on a course to understand the anatomy of an ANSI standard query. Not only will you learn the parts of a query, but you will also be given what you need to make those queries more efficient. With the focus on ANSI standard queries, rather than engine specific variants, what you learn will be applicable to Oracle, SQL Server, Azure SQL, Postgres, MySQL, and several other relational engines. Come, learn to query on and perhaps there will be peace, with your DBA, we you are done.
