How should I start learning SQL?

I honestly don't know anything about SQL right now. I want to start learning it properly, so can you guys suggest how I should begin and what resources I should use? My plan is to learn SQL for data first and then move towards AI and ML. I don't even know if SQL is different depending on whether you are working in data, AI, or ML, so I'm a little confused about that too. If you could suggest some good resources, a proper way to learn it, and what I should focus on if I want to become really good at SQL, I would really appreciate it. Thankkk youuuu

SQL itself doesn’t really change between data, AI or ML, so I’d focus on getting the fundamentals solid first.

A good free route is Data with Baraa’s SQL playlist⁠ for learning the concepts, then practise them alongside SQL Case Files⁠, which is also free and makes you actually write SQL to solve cases instead of only watching tutorials.

The main thing is to write a lot of SQL while you learn, not just watch videos.
