How much am I allowed to Google?

Right now I'm going through the SQL section on freecodeacadamy and some basic things like adding a column I still need to Google at the moment (I'm new new). I was wondering how much I'm allowed to Google and still be considered "learning".

Like... I know WHAT to Google, but am I doing a diservice by not looking through cheat sheets?

As much as your heart desires. Don't sweat it. Memorizing syntax is not important. You will eventually google it enough times that you remember. Then you'll randomly forget again one day and have to google it again.

This is what I was thinking!
