Hi all,  
I’m looking to use ignition to build an interface that retrieves and displays information from the SQL server. The interface would allow me to add a location label to the data. The data is then sent back to my SQL server. What tutorials should I focus on? Would love some recommendations.

I have connected it to my SQL server.

There are a plethora of online courses. Just open up Google and search.

Udemy and codecademy are a few examples.

I recommend starting your project, and when you get stuck, use online resources such as the User Manual, Inductive University, and this forum. For SQL, you can use Google, and this forum has plenty of topics related to SQL.

When I get stuck on SQL I ask our lord and savior ChatGPT. So far, he has not let me down.

On a side note:  
ChatGPT can help you form your queries much more efficiently if you provide it with the structure of the databse, or at least the relevant tables prior.
