5th Anniversary of LearnSQL.com

Today, we're celebrating LearnSQL.com's fifth birthday with the people who made it all possible – you, our community of learners.

What began as a passion project has grown into something we never could have imagined. Through economic ups and downs, a global pandemic, and countless late nights, we've stayed focused on one mission: making SQL skills accessible to everyone who wants to learn.

Here's What We've Achieved

When we launched, we knew there were plenty of SQL resources out there. Textbooks. Videos. Tutorials. But something was missing – a place where you could actually practice writing queries and get immediate feedback. Where theory met practice. Where learning felt less like studying and more like solving puzzles.

Five years later, our community has completed nearly 3 million SQL exercises across more than 75 different courses. Every query you've written, every problem you've solved, and every "aha!" moment you've experienced has pushed us to keep improving.

Our most popular courses - SQL Basics, SQL Practice Set,  SQL JOINs, and "Window Functions" - reflect what matters most in the real world. We've designed learning tracks that take you step-by-step from SQL newcomer to data wizard, with each course building naturally on what came before.

The All Forever Package has become our flagship offering, giving lifetime access to everything we create. And to celebrate our fifth birthday, we're offering this complete collection – more than 75 interactive courses – for just $149, saving you $450 off the regular price.

SQL Without Borders

One revelation changed everything for us: SQL concepts are universal, but learning them isn't one-size-fits-all.

"I understand what a JOIN does," one student told us, "but translating English technical terms while I'm also trying to learn database concepts is exhausting."

This feedback led us to create dedicated learning platforms in multiple languages:

• LearnSQL.fr for French speakers
• LearnSQL.de for German speakers
• LearnSQL.es for Spanish speakers
• LearnSQL.it for Italian speakers
• LearnSQL.com.br for Portuguese speakers

When you learn in your native language, concepts click faster. Confidence builds more naturally. Questions flow more easily. The technical challenge of SQL remains, but the language barrier disappears.

Know Your Strengths, Find Your Path

Our SQL Skills Assessment grew from a simple question: "How do I know what I don't know?"

Unlike generic tests that give you a meaningless score, our assessment maps your current skills against what employers actually need. You'll discover which SQL topics you've mastered and which ones need more attention. Use it before job interviews, when planning your learning path, or simply to track your growth over time.

The best part? It's completely free, and you can retake it whenever you want to measure your progress. Many users have earned our Certificate of Competency in SQL, adding a valuable credential to their professional profiles.

SQL for Every Stage of Your Career

SQL skills change lives – we've seen it happen thousands of times. That's why we've created specialized programs for different needs:

For students learning on a budget, we offer our SQL Basics course completely free with a valid school email address. We remember what it's like to be a student – curious but cash-strapped.

For educators, our Learning Management Portal lets you create customized assignments, track student progress in real time, and even design your own SQL courses tailored to your curriculum.

For businesses, we've developed corporate training programs that deliver measurable results. Just ask Uber, where we've helped train over 10,000 employees in SQL skills that directly impact their operations. Our case studies show how SQL literacy transforms organizations from the inside out.

The Community That Makes It Possible

Our nearly 1000 articles and hundreds of SQL Cookbooks didn't write themselves. Our courses didn't test themselves. Our platform didn't improve itself.

Every step forward has come from listening to you – your questions, your struggles, your success stories. From landing new jobs to earning promotions, your wins are what make this work meaningful.
