You didn’t get the pay raise because spent $100, you got the pay raise because you spent hours, days, months.

It’s time, not money, you are spending.

From that point of view the $100 for the book is even less relevant.

I've been looking on brushing up on my SQL lately and have been going through these resources.

- Practical SQL, No Starch Press. ($30)

https://nostarch.com/practicalSQL

- Use The Index Luke ($15)

https://use-the-index-luke.com/

- Database Systems Concepts & Design by Georgia Tech on Udacity (free)

https://www.udacity.com/course/database-systems-concepts-des...

I can easily pay the $100, I cannot easily find more time, especially when there are a bunch of other things I'm spending time on. At a lower price I would likely buy the book "just because".

They sound good, too. Be good to hear a review if you get any of them.
