I’ve been saying for some time I should do some more entry level content, but it’s been kind-of hard to motivate myself. I mostly write about things I’m learning or actively using, so going back and writing entry level content is not something that usually springs to mind.
Recently I’ve got involved in a number of “grumpy old man” conversations about the lack of SQL knowledge out there. That, combined with a few people at work getting re-skilled, prompted me to get off my ass and give it a go. It’s actually quite difficult trying to get yourself into the head-space of someone who is coming fresh to the subject. You don’t want to pitch it too low and sound patronizing, but then pitching it too high makes you sounds like an elitist dick.
Anyway, after completing the Efficient Function Calls from SQL series of videos, I decided to jump into a SQL for Beginners series. I’m also putting out some articles, which are essentially transcripts of the videos, to allow people to copy/paste the examples. More importantly, they have links to articles with more details about the subject matter.
Once I’ve done a quick pass through the basics, I’ll start adding a bit more depth. I’ll probably dip in and out of the series. If I stick with it too long I’ll probably go crazy from boredom. 🙂
If you know someone who is fresh to SQL, can you ask them to take a look and give me some feedback? It would be nice to know if they are helpful or not.
Cheers

Frank: Sure thing. If you watch the beginner videos and check out the articles linked from them, then drop me a line at “tim(at)oracle-base.com” to let me know what you think.

A month earlier and I would have referred my 11g SQL/OCA students to your videos. I had to start creating my own videos in August.
