how do i learn sql

the language is so terrible and inconsistent. I want to stab out my eyes just reading it. How do I force myself to read the entire thing without having a nervous break down and come to after implementing a full replacement in lisp?

Are you finding any inconsistency? The truth table is used to described the behaviour of a command, it is part of specification. The literary construct is called an example or description. In s lexicon, it is completely required, since you are delineating what a new word/command is, and how it incorporates to the language.

Not to patronize, but have yu ever made a product description, or a report? If not, then you might want to learn how lexicons are built:
