SQL

I've hit a wall in my SQL studies via the Khan Academy, and as such, I am engaging in additional studies prior to attempting to move forward.

Via a very limited, free SQL tutorial from Codecademy:

BACKGROUND

SQL, Structured Query Language, is a programming language designed to manage data stored in relational databases. SQL operates through simple, declarative statements. This keeps data accurate and secure, and it helps maintain the integrity of databases, regardless of size.

Here’s an appendix of commonly used commands.

COMMANDS

ALTER TABLE

ALTER TABLE table_name 
ADD column_name datatype;

ALTER TABLE lets you add columns to a table in a database.

Intro to SQL: Querying and managing data

I'm so happy to be learning computer programming. The process is invigorating! I started the Khan Academy courses over Spring Break and managed to complete Intro to JS: Drawing & Animation in about 81 hours. I began the evening by finishing course 2 in the series (Intro to HTML/CSS: Making webpages), and finished it a few hours ago. Oh, and a pleasant bit of good news; GitHub approved my free Pro account! Thanks GitHub!!!

SQl + SoloLearn = Amazing

I've spent the last several hours studying Structured Query Language (SQL) and I am really enjoying the straightforward syntax and ease of use that it offers. Having studied PHP previously is also helping.
