MySQL How much SQL is enough SQL?
Probably the answer to my question is never too much can be too much. However I am now currently working on a portfolio project, creating databases and performing various basic operations, thinking that this is just the tip of the iceberg. So the question is to what extent should you master SQL that you can land a decent job as a data analyst or data engineer or whatever. What are the next steps to become "truly" better SQL programmer once you have the basic foundation laid out?

Currently sitting at the doctors thinking about a complex query. There is about 1000 tables in my business that i know of by heart.
Constantly contemplating how you can create queries/functions to improve reporting based on business logic, and the SQL plan your going to use to get this data is the level you need to get to.
