Whether you're just getting started with SQL or looking to sharpen your database skills, there's now a new and interactive way to practice — meet sqlnotebook.de!
What is sqlnotebook.de?
sqlnotebook.de is an open-source learning platform that brings the power of SQL into an interactive, Jupyter-style notebook environment — but instead of Python, it’s all about SQL.
It's perfect for:
👶 Beginners who want to learn SQL step-by-step
🧪 Intermediate users who want to test queries in a sandbox
🧠 Educators and trainers looking for a live SQL environment
🧰 Anyone tired of switching between docs, editors, and databases just to try something out
Why it’s Different (and Awesome)
🧑💻 Notebooks for SQL
Write and execute SQL queries in cells, just like you would in Jupyter. You can add markdown explanations between queries to document your thought process or create tutorials.
💾 Built-in SQLite
Every notebook runs with an embedded SQLite database. No setup, no config — just start writing queries. You can also import your own datasets (CSV, SQL dumps, etc.) and play with them.
📚 Interactive Lessons
Browse or create notebooks that serve as tutorials. Want to teach someone JOINs? Create a notebook with example data and step-by-step queries.
📤 Shareable & Open Source
All notebooks can be saved, shared, or forked. And since it's open-source, you can run your own instance or contribute to the project.
Use Cases
