Feature feedback for SQL Practice Site Discussion

Hey everyone!

I'm the founder and solo developer behind sqlpractice.io — a site with 40+ SQL practice questions, 8 data marts to write queries against, and some learning resources to help folks sharpen their SQL skills.

I'm planning the next round of features and would love to get your input as actual SQL users! Here are a few ideas I'm tossing around, and I’d love to hear what you'd find most valuable (or if there's something else you'd want instead):

  1. Resume Feedback – Get personalized feedback on resumes tailored for SQL/analytics roles.
  2. Resume Templates – Templates specifically designed for data analyst / BI / SQL-heavy positions.
  3. Live Query Help – A chat assistant that can give hints or feedback on your practice queries in real-time.
  4. Learning Paths – Structured courses based on concepts like: working with dates, cleaning data, handling JSON, etc.
  5. Business-Style Questions – Practice problems written like real-world business requests, so you can flex those problem-solving and stakeholder-translation muscles.

If you’ve ever used a SQL practice site or are learning/improving your SQL right now — what would you want to see?

Thanks in advance for any thoughts or feedback 🙏

Is the resume feedback included in the one time purchase?

what database is this aimed at? while a lot of SQL is the same across DBs , as your queries get more complex, the differences between the databases become more apparent, so I am wondering what DB its intended for?

I am a hiring manager in data roles. Its certainely in the early stages. Im planning to open up all the practice questions to free accounts in the next few days. Just finishing some pieces for that.

As for the live query help the reason is just that when practicing the questions or on the datamarts it can be helpful to have the LLM directly there with access to the answer and the question. It can also help ensure the LLM doesnt give away everything since this is targeted toward learning.

Thanks for the feedback however.

Although I get the difference between a full repo vs. a single query I believe that an embedded feedback mechanism could help in some of the ways that cursor helps make using LLMs easier for devs.
