T-SQL is old news in data engineering, I'd focus on something like Apache Spark / Databricks, which is a first class service on all of major cloud providers these days.

Why not just drill some problems? Every SQL course I've sat through, both classroom and MOOC, has been a massive drag

What are you trying to achieve?
Depending on that, we can suggest.

My main focus is in BI, but manager wants me to do some SQL training to be able to help manage the whole process. Query optimization, complex SQL, design principles for azure SQL server etc.
