main.sql
CREATE TABLE orders (id INT, total REAL, status TEXT);
INSERT INTO orders VALUES
  (1, 250, 'shipped'), (2, 50, 'pending'), (3, 500, 'delivered');

SELECT id, total,
  CASE
    WHEN total >= 200 THEN 'Large'
    WHEN total >= 100 THEN 'Medium'
    ELSE 'Small'
  END AS size
FROM orders;

Indexes in SQL

main.sql

INSERT INTO depts VALUES (1,'Engineering'),(2,'Marketing');

CREATE TABLE emps (id INT, name TEXT, dept_id INT, salary INT);
INSERT INTO emps VALUES (1,'Alice',1,90000),(2,'Bob',2,75000),(3,'Charlie',1,95000);

SELECT e.name, d.name AS department, e.salary
FROM emps e
INNER JOIN depts d ON e.dept_id = d.id
ORDER BY e.salary DESC;

How to take input in SQL online

myCompiler supports standard input (stdin) for SQL programs. Use SQL's standard input functions to read user input. Enter your input data in the stdin panel before running your program.

This works for both single-line and multi-line input. You can read strings and convert to numbers using the language's built-in I/O functions.

Try it yourself
main.sql stdin supported
-- SQL reads from tables, not stdin
CREATE TABLE greetings (
  name TEXT,
  age INTEGER
);
INSERT INTO greetings VALUES ('Alice', 25);
SELECT 'Hello ' || name || '!' AS greeting,
       'You''ll be ' || (age + 1) || ' next year.' AS message
FROM greetings;
Output
greeting|message
Hello Alice!|You'll be 26 next year.

What is SQL?

SQL (Structured Query Language) is the standard language for managing and querying relational databases. Originally developed by Donald Chamberlin and Raymond Boyce at IBM in the early 1970s based on E.F. Codd's relational model, SQL became an ANSI/ISO standard in 1986 and is now supported by virtually every relational database system, SQLite, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, and SQL Server all use SQL as their primary query language.

SQL is a declarative language, you describe what data you want, not how to retrieve it. The database engine figures out the most efficient execution plan. Core SQL operations include SELECT for querying, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE for modifying data, and CREATE TABLE, ALTER TABLE, DROP for schema management.

What is SQL used for?

SQL is used for data retrieval and analysis, filtering, aggregating, and joining data from relational databases, business intelligence and reporting via tools like Tableau, Power BI, and Redash that generate SQL, data engineering in pipelines using Spark SQL and dbt, application backend databases where every web app stores and retrieves data, and data science for extracting datasets from warehouses.

SQL for beginners

SQL is one of the most approachable technical skills to learn, the syntax reads like plain English. SELECT name FROM users WHERE age &gt. 18 is self-explanatory. SQL is also one of the most valuable technical skills you can have, as virtually every organization stores data in relational databases. Use myCompiler's online SQL editor (powered by SQLite) to practice queries, create tables, insert data, and write SELECT, JOIN, and GROUP BY queries immediately.

SQL vs other languages

Compared to NoSQL databases (MongoDB, DynamoDB), relational SQL databases enforce a fixed schema and ACID transactions, making them better for consistent, structured data. Compared to MySQL, SQLite (used on myCompiler) is serverless and file-based, perfect for learning and local development. Compared to PostgreSQL, MySQL and SQLite are simpler but PostgreSQL has more advanced features (JSON, full-text search, partitioning).

Why use an online SQL compiler?

An online SQL editor, also called a SQL sandbox or SQL playground, lets you write and run SQL queries directly in your browser without installing a database server. This is ideal for learning SQL from scratch, practicing JOIN queries, experimenting with aggregate functions, preparing for data analyst interviews, and testing database schemas without local setup.

myCompiler's online SQL IDE runs SQLite, supporting standard SQL including SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, HAVING, subqueries, CTEs, and window functions. Each session starts with a fresh database. Save and share your SQL scripts via URL, completely free.

Why is SQL so popular?

SQL has been in continuous use for over 50 years and remains one of the most in-demand technical skills in every industry. Data is the foundation of every business, and SQL is the language for accessing that data. From a junior analyst writing reports to a senior data engineer building pipelines, SQL is used daily. Stack Overflow surveys consistently show SQL as one of the most commonly used technologies across all developer types.

SQL career opportunities

SQL skills are required for data analyst, data engineer, data scientist, business analyst, backend developer, and database administrator roles. Almost every technical job touches data, and SQL is the universal language for working with it. It is one of the highest-ROI skills to learn, it can be picked up quickly and is immediately applicable in virtually any industry.
