Thank you for the shout out about HiveSQL and the the work I do to keep it running with top performances. Tho, your post is missing a reference to the HiveSQL website: https://hivesql.io ;)
if you want to learn a little bit of programming, HiveSQL is a great playground to do so
Please don't! DO NOT use HiveSQL as a playground!
HiveSQL is a shared infrastructure, sometimes with billions of rows in its tables. Someone who does not use it in the right way could harm the performance of the whole and negatively impact the activity of other users.
Should you want to learn SQL, deploy your own database, inject data into it and play with your own toy! When you better master SQL syntax, then you are welcome to issue your queries to HiveSQL
Yes, I forgot to mention the website. Thank you for sharing it here.
You are right, it is best to use the service after getting a proper knowledge of how SQL works. Actually that's what I had in mind with playground. Applying learned skills to something more practical and useful.
Thank you @arcange!
