    Stage 5 can give you a huge boost in writing complex queries!

    You say that like it’s a good thing. I like my queries simple.

    Also - the stuff you have under “stage 6” should all be learned before “stage 2” in my opinion. Knowing how to write efficient queries is far more important than group by / join / etc.

      Huh? How do you write an efficient query and not take into account joins? A single table query? Are you a Prisma fan?

      Joining is one of the simplest and most useful things in SQL.

      How can you possibly query without it?

      Simple queries are obviously better but not everything can be achieved with simple selects.
