What kind of SQL do I need to learn for networking

[hfakoor222]

I'm planning on beginning work in cisco routers. My current/previous employment is computer forensics/investigation, and I have some SQL experience.

I have a SQL oracle expert cert and know my way around SQL.

I plan on obtaining a CCNP soon.

For someone new, trying to get into this industry, I would like some recommendations.

I want to know where to focus my SQL skills, to where they would be helpful even once a week in the firm I will be working at, potentially outside of the router domain.

For example would database migrations help, would database optimisation be good (i.e I can hard code statistical regressions in SQL and I know how to use them). Would data structures be better?  Instructors post their entire university course curriculum online, so there's plenty of learning material, I would like to streamline it.

What areas can I focus on with, that would come in handy working at a telecomm, or a government subcontactor (which does a lot of the same type of work I'm assuming), that I can use either as or ourside a network engineer role within hte company?

Thank you

this is nothing to do with the Cisco community, it's pure your own skills and development, you can do many things if the time permits.

Honestly, your SQL skill for networkiing will not help much.  Of course, for Data Base admin is a whole new story.

Networking is about connectivity and we dont mind about data base. Usually, vendors does not allow us to get to the device data base. They abstract data base from us and we lead with interface and routing table or mac trable. Wow of couse routing table and mac table is data base but we only read it and it is enough.

 But, dont get desapointed. Most important you can focus on your technological skill. Someone able to master SQL will , with no shadow of doubt,  master anything on network field cause network is the easier of them all.

At end of the day, DBM, networking admin,etc has to study a lot no matter what happen next.
