I am a Data Analyst with about 2 years of SQL programming skill in Oracle and SQL server. Been looking for about 6 months but haven't had any lucks. Is SQL skill still demanding and what kind of role or company is hiring?

    Become a bonafide DBA, learn pl/sql, optimization (at the DB level and OS level), security, clustering, sharding, table spaces, overriding operators and types, json in the db (mixing sql/nosql), proper use of indexing layers, storage engines, GIS and temporal data, and so on. You’ll be in high demand. Guaranteed.

      These are all nice to learn but how if I don't have the tools or resources? Without an opportunity with a company that offer such training, how can anyone learn all these skills by himself? Be realistic...

    • I have been looking at several free tutorials online but they all seem basis. They also have some practice exercises but I'm finding it hard to learn this way. Like SQL I learned it from work and became good at it today because there are databases, tools and real case scenarios that I can practice and resolve. So without such resources or opportunities to work for a company having these tools is tough but not possible

  • sql is a huge skill set if you want to do anything related to analytics. Just make sure you also know WHY you are also pulling that data.

    SQL jobs are everywhere. Learn Python and make yourself more valuable. Learn Redshift, too.
