One more thing. This data comes from the google data analytics course. They teach SQL in bigquery but I don't want to perform tasks in bigquery. As I understood, it isn't that popular and would be better to learn MySQL instead. I don't want to end up in a situation where a company that is going to hire me uses MySQL and all this time i was learning bigquery so it will take extra time to transition from bigquery to MySQL. although both of them represent a tool to run SQL, however, there are a lot of differences regarding data import, interface, etc. I hope my conclusion is right.
