I feel that pain! I knew MySQL so well that it felt risky to use a different database, yet if I used it on a non-serious project, how would I get real-world experience?
I learned a lot from a book from one of the core contributors to Postgres - https://theartofpostgresql.com/ https://theartofpostgresql.com/. It has actual real world examples with realistic datasets to experiment with.

- denysvitali 6y agoNo pain no gain I guess. Learning things in a difficult way is not a waste of time tbh
- fakedang 6y agoThere is often little distinction between difficult and suboptimal though.
