respectfully, it is the worst thing I have done in my uni course so far (just as bad as networking)

It's actually really nice when you can use it in practice... but I'm assuming learning it in college with mock databases must be hella boring lol

I work as support for a software, and clients sometimes ask for reports and stuff (how much they made with specific products from specific brands, employee rankings, etc.) and gathering the data and organizing it then seeing it actually being used by the clients is actually pretty fun.

Just push through it brother, it's gonna make sense someday: EVERY software or service has a database, Youtube, Spotify, Netflix, Riot Games, PornHub, Clash of Clans, etc. It might be useful to you someday!

I can understand that, seeing what you do being used is one of the reasons I am looking to go into the programming space. And you're so right, the mock database we work on is about a fake museum and all the information about how to manage, update and delete data is so different to every language I have worked with so far and that is probably the worst part. To me it is both boring and confusing. I can't take SQL and make a game out of it like I did with every other language I have learned at uni (python, java, c++) because that's how I have actually learned the languages. So learning SQL is a challenge

I just need to find the fun part of it and right now that does not exist
