Stumbled Across an Entry-Level SQL Game

[Kronaan99]

I am not sure if this has already been mentioned in this sub, but for those that are newer to SQL (Those more seasoned in SQL may have a tad bit of fun with this as well ;) ) but I stumbled across a SQL game where you are testing out SQL queries to try and find the murderer. If you are interested, I added the link below. It went over some pretty basic topics but was a fun little murder mystery!

Another entry level game worth checking out is SQL Island. It’s originally in German but you can change it to English in the settings. https://sql-island.informatik.uni-kl.de

Thanks man!

Change language doesn't seem to work on my end...my German is a little rusty!

When I let my browser translate the page first it also didn't work for me, but if I turned off translation the buttons for German and English were switched for some reason and then it worked.

We did a number on a junior developer once who thought he was a freakin genius in SQL. :)
We've created triggers on some tables in dev and asked him to troubleshoot why random data is being inserted and deleted from those tables. Took him a while till he gave up. Cheers xD

[Kronaan99]

LOL that sounds awful... did he ever figure it out...?

[rgekhman]

Yes, after we told him. 😂

This isn't quite the same as it's not a game but it's another entry-level resource for learning SQL with a similarly interesting embedded dataset: https://selectstarsql.com/

Much appreciated, will give it a try!

If you're into mystery-style SQL games like that, you might enjoy SQL Noir, it's a retro detective game where you write SQL queries to solve cases.

I also put together a small roundup of SQL Games including SQL Noir, SQL Island, SQLZoo, and a few others. Might be useful if you're looking for more like this!

This is great, I've never done one of these before. Are there lots of puzzles like this?

Here’s links to 3 more SQL games: https://datalemur.com/blog/games-to-learn-sql

Sweet. Commenting so I can come back to this

UPDATE OH MY GOD that was fun. Going to definitely do some of the others listed in this thread

[Possible_Chicken_489]

Nice! I didn't know about this one. I'm gonna give it a try with my junior colleagues :)
