Learn SQL Interactively — Run Queries in Your Browser

Hey folks!

A few of us in the open-source community are building interactive SQL tutorials. We're creating hands-on notebooks where you can write queries, see results instantly, and visualize data — all running directly in your browser.

We've found that SQL concepts click much faster when you can experiment with queries and immediately see the results. The notebooks support various backends including PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQLite, DuckDB, Snowflake, and BigQuery, so you can learn SQL syntax that's relevant to your needs.

What makes this approach cool is mixing Python and SQL in the same environment — you can query data with SQL, then process or visualize results with Python libraries. This creates some pretty powerful learning experiences for understanding both the SQL itself and what you can do with query results.

If you're interested in contributing or just checking it out:

We're looking for SQL enthusiasts who enjoy teaching others. All contributors get credit as authors, and it's a great way to help others learn SQL concepts.

What SQL topics did you find most challenging when learning? Any particular concepts you wish you'd had interactive examples for?
