Here's a focused 7-day learning plan to help you get up to an

intermediate level in MS SQL. Each day includes a mix of theory


and practical exercises.
Day 1: Introduction to MS SQL Server
- Theory:
- Understand what MS SQL Server is and its components (SQL
Server Management Studio, Database Engine, etc.).
- Learn about relational databases and the SQL language.
- Practice:
- Install MS SQL Server and SQL Server Management Studio
(SSMS).
- Create your first database and a simple table.
Day 2: Basic SQL Queries
- Theory:
- Learn the basics of SELECT statements, including filtering
with WHERE clauses.
- Understand data types and how to create tables.
- Practice:
- Write queries to select data from your table.
- Experiment with WHERE clauses to filter results.
Day 3: Sorting and Aggregating Data
- Theory:
- Learn about ORDER BY, GROUP BY, and aggregate functions
(COUNT, SUM, AVG, MIN, MAX).
- Practice:
- Write queries that sort results and group data.
- Use aggregate functions to summarize your data.
Day 4: Joins and Subqueries
- Theory:
- Understand different types of joins (INNER, LEFT, RIGHT,
FULL).
- Learn about subqueries and when to use them.
- Practice:
- Create multiple tables and practice writing various join
queries.
- Write queries that include subqueries in SELECT or WHERE
clauses.
Day 5: Data Manipulation and Transactions
- Theory:
- Learn how to use INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE statements.
- Understand the basics of transactions (COMMIT and
ROLLBACK).
- Practice:
- Modify data in your tables using the appropriate statements.
- Create a simple transaction with COMMIT and ROLLBACK.
Day 6: Advanced SQL Concepts
- Theory:
- Explore Common Table Expressions (CTEs) and temporary
tables.
- Learn about functions (string functions, date functions) and
their use.
- Practice:
- Write queries using CTEs to simplify complex queries.
- Use built-in functions to manipulate data.
Day 7: Review and Mini Project
- Review:
- Go over all the concepts learned during the week.
- Practice SQL queries from various resources (like LeetCode or
W3Schools).

- Mini Project:
- Create a small database for a simple application (e.g., a
library or inventory system).
- Design tables, populate them with sample data, and write
queries to retrieve meaningful insights.
Additional Tips:
- Practice Regularly: Aim for at least 1-2 hours of hands-on
practice each day.
- Use Resources: Check out Microsoft’s documentation, SQL
Server tutorials, and online courses for deeper understanding.
- Join a Community: Engage with SQL forums or local user
groups to learn from others.
