Turn a SQL example into something you can explore. SQL Code Play gives you a local query workspace, guided lessons and focused challenges in one app. Read how a statement works, run it against sample tables and change it to see how the answer changes. A workspace for hands-on learning The Code and Output tabs keep the statement and its result close together. Edit your query, tap Run and examine the returned table. Row and column counts provide context, NULL values are marked, and messages distinguish an empty result from a completed statement or a query error. Undo and redo help you work through changes in the editor. You can begin with the supplied database instead of building sample data first. Employee, meeting and room records provide material for filtering, grouping and joining tables. The database list displays table names and record counts. Tapping a table loads a SELECT statement so you can inspect the data and decide what to try next. Restore lets you rebuild the sample database after experiments. Lessons that connect reading with doing Search the tutorial collection or filter it by fundamentals, filtering, analysis and advanced topics. Lesson details explain the purpose of an example, describe its logic and offer practice tips. Send the example to SQL Workspace, modify it and review the output.

Work through selection, conditions, ordering and aliases, then explore joins, aggregate functions and grouped summaries.
