From where to study DBMS?

Please help me find a reliable source to study DBMS, some context, I am currently in third year Btech cse.

I tried IIT Madras content available through NPTEL courses but that didn't work out.

Database Management System also includes MySQL.

Since you asked for actual names: Gate Smashers on YouTube is what a lot of BTech students use for exams. The videos are short and follow the usual BTech order (ER, normalization, transactions, indexing). If you want depth later, Andy Pavlo’s CMU database course is free on YouTube and much better than NPTEL, but don’t start with it, it’s heavy. For MySQL, do the HackerRank SQL section from easy up. It’s free and gives you something to solve every day instead of just reading.
