What it does
Select Star SQL teaches SQL through an interactive book with queries and projects using a real-world dataset.
Follow the chapters if you need a mental model for queries rather than only syntax reminders. The book expects little coding knowledge and introduces operations through a sustained dataset. Its capital-punishment subject matter is part of the learning context, so choose it with that context in mind when planning a lesson. There is no registration or download requirement. The prose uses CC BY-SA 4.0; code and data are released under CC0, so their reuse terms differ.
