How to use AI to learn SQL without becoming dependent

A boy, let's say Aman, loves cricket. His father hires a coach. But Aman has a friend, Gullu, who says: don't worry, I will bat for you.

In the nets, Gullu bats. Aman watches. Looks great. Every day Aman thinks: I am improving.

Don't worry. I'll bat for you.

Match day. Gullu can't bat for him. Aman walks in alone.

Scene 3 · walking back alone

The coach is different. He stands behind Aman and says: elbow up, head still, again. He never touches the bat. He watches, corrects, and gives a harder ball.

Now the SQL part

AI can be Gullu or the coach. You choose.

If you ask AI to write your query, you are Aman watching Gullu. In the interview, there is no Gullu.

But if you write the first query yourself, get it wrong, and then ask AI what is wrong with it, that is the coach.

CoachCoach
-- you write it first
SELECT ...;
Now ask AI: what is wrong with my query?

Coach or Gullu? Click the one you would do.

Pick one.

Aap khud batting karo. You do the batting.
