Phil was great! He was both patient and knowledgeable. The training went at a good pace, moving a team of mixed SQL abilities through the basics into more advanced SQL querying together. The exercises were an excellent way for us to commit our newly learned skills to memory, and Phil's instructions/class discussions on numerous ways to achieve the same thing were interesting.
