Course Description

sql Awards Best Practical Course

Welcome to SQLBolt, a series of interactive lessons and exercises designed to help you quickly learn SQL right in your browser.
Since most users will be learning SQL to interact with an existing database, the lessons begin by introducing you to the various parts of an SQL query. The later lessons will then show you how to alter a table (or schema) and create new tables from scratch.Each lesson will introduce a different concept and end with an interactive exercise. Go at your pace and don't be afraid to spend time experimenting with the exercises before continuing! If you happen to be familiar with SQL already, you can skip ahead using the links in the top-right, but we would recommend you work through the lessons anyways!By the end, we hope you will be able to have a strong foundation for using SQL in your own projects and beyond.

Beginner Level

Pros

Cons

- The learn-by-doing approach is extremely effective. There is little focus on theory and instead a heavy emphasis on completing tasks that teach the concepts.
- Course is followed up by multiple deeper dives into SQL topics.
- Concepts in the course are streamlined. The focused information is easier to digest, leaving more complicated information for more advanced tutorials.
- This is more of a freestanding, web-based self-help book than a course. It does include lessons, but there are no direct interactions with any kind of instructor.
- There is virtually no support for the course. If a student gets stuck, they are on their own.
- Course is a self-funded site, and may not be as reliable a resource to come back to over time.

Very nice job, the examples are clear and straightforward, and I'll agree with the other posters that doing it all on the client made it feel very responsive.

Man, this is just fantastic. I've written and continue to maintain a printout for students and teachers to use as a list of learning resources and could never find a good, easy SQL tutorial site. This is so good.

I found SQLbolt a year or so ago and found it very useful because it was an interactive tutorial and walked through a good bit of basics and explains joins very well.

This website is great for learning basic SQL applications. Sort of like CodeAcademy but for SQL. The lessons are interactive and intuitive.
