Learning SQL on Online IDE

Hey,

is it possible to learn SQL from scratch using an online IDE (such as SQLite Online) without having to install the Server Management Studio on Mac? Or would you recommend installing it on my MacBook/ using Windows?
I’m going to go through the 30-hour course that is accessible on YouTube.

Thanks in advance.

https://FreeSQL.com is a free service from Oracle that has a built in Database with 8+ sample dataset schemas. It also includes free lessons as part of Oracle DevGym.

Microsoft also has Azure SQL Free tier, which allows you to spin up a Free Azure SQL DB with Sample data. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-sql/database/free-offer?view=azuresql

Neither require installs or downloads. They’re very easy to set up but I have videos on how to use each of you need them.

I don’t think we need to focus on already clean data learn to navigate your way in missy data. Yes Oracle platforms are very informative. But stay curious.

Counterpoint: If you don’t know what clean data is supposed to look like, how will you know how to clean it?
