freeCodeCamp.org
I’m sure this is not the first time you’ve heard of this. It is a huge YouTube channel, with lots of effort and work put into it.
It is full of tutorials, especially in the form of long videos (over 5 hours) that you can stop and move across as and when you prefer. It is flexible and unique. It is rich in content. It is harder to find some topics that it doesn’t cover, than the covered ones.
There are videos with over 5 million views (the most viewed has over 30 million views). So, it is trustable, and high in quality. And, all this is also free.
In my opinion, the quality of these videos is even better than the majority of the paid courses I took in the past.
For SQL, there are multiple long videos of 4 hours that you can follow along. Some of them are for beginners, while others are more specific to a database, like MySQL, or explanations about SQL servers.
There are also other tutorials on this channel, that are complete project walkthrough that uses SQL databases. Also following them will give you a really strong foundation and practical experience.

TechWithTim
If you are interested in knowing who is the person that actually inspired me to learn programming and also a lot of libraries and frameworks, it is Tim, the guy that has this channel.
He has an incredible amount of high-quality videos that cover almost everything you can think about when it comes to programming in general. There are videos for beginners, a long video or a small series, and then move to the most complicated arguments.
When it comes to SQL, he has some MySQL videos that are almost entirely SQL tutorials. It talks and explains all the language itself, showing then how it works in a real-world database. He has also some tutorials where he uses SQL with Postgres for example. Worth to check them out.
Also, the quality of the videos is incredible, we can say that is almost rare out there. Audio quality, video quality, but especially content quality. This is this channel. You will have also under almost every video link to the GitHub repository where he puts all the code, that you can copy and read. He has also a website with a lot of other content.
It is, in my opinion, the best choice you can make if you want to learn anything the proper way. It is a great way, you can’t go wrong.
