Please suggest this entry level thing.

SQL is enduring because it is logical and understandable. But there is still an initial vertical learning curve.

I am trying to teach a friend of mine SQL but I’m not sure how to construct a lesson plan.

Is there a canonical SQL 101?

So use the resource to teach your friend.
