The SQL30 challenge offers a unique opportunity to enhance your SQL skills by working with datasets and queries. Unlike other challenges, this program focuses solely on mastering SQL queries, without the need to create landing pages or emails.
To excel in SQL30, participants are encouraged to practice each challenge and even create their own scenarios. The more time you dedicate to studying, the better you will grasp SQL concepts. It is recommended to allocate one hour for each challenge to fully immerse yourself in the learning experience.
There are several great websites available for practicing SQL. Websites like Mode, SQLPad, or W3Schools have built-in SQL editors that allow you to write and test your SQL queries.
For the SQL30 challenges, you will need to work with a sample dataset provided with each challenge. Therefore, when selecting an SQL editor, it is important to ensure that the platform allows you to upload your dataset.
For Salesforce Marketing Cloud Users: Query Studio by Salesforce Labs is a great add-on for Marketing Cloud. It allows you to write and run queries against data extensions in your business unit. You can also upload datasets from each challenge as data extensions and complete your challenges without logging into another platform. Another option is to use Query Activities, but this requires waiting for the Query Activity result and pre-creating data extensions to save your query result.
