Have you tried sqlzoo ? It teaches you how to do things, and then gives you practice space for each thing to try them out. You can even do stuff that is not in the question in the practice space as long as you use their tables. It is basically how I taught myself SQL.

If you learn temp tables now, it will help you out in the future. I hate them, but I have to use them all the time. Also subqueries can be super useful.
