Introduction

RunSQL was born from a common frustration in data teams: the challenge of effectively testing and reviewing SQL queries. If you've ever tried to debug SQL with teammates, you know the pain: endless chat threads explaining logic, unverifiable screenshots, and the headache of setting up test environments.

Setting up a test environment traditionally means:

  • Installing a database system
  • Writing CREATE TABLE statements
  • Managing test data insertion
  • Handling multiple test cases
  • Having teammates repeat the entire setup

Introducing RunSQL

RunSQL is a simple yet powerful tool designed specifically for data professionals. Our platform offers:

  • Quick database table creation using DBML
  • Easy sample data import via CSV upload or spreadsheet interface
  • Cloud-based SQL execution
  • Shareable results with just a link

Key Use Cases 💼

  • 🔍 Test Complex Queries: Write and validate SQL queries using curated test datasets instead of production data. Perfect for development and testing phases.
  • 🤝 Collaborative Debugging: Share SQL queries and test data instantly with your team. Debug together in a shared environment without local database setup.
  • 👔 SQL Interviews: Streamline technical assessments by creating and sharing SQL challenges in real-time. Ideal for evaluating candidates efficiently.
  • 📚 SQL Learning: Practice SQL hands-on by creating and exploring various database scenarios. An excellent platform for both teaching and learning SQL concepts.

Our Story 💡

RunSQL emerged from a Holistics hackathon, bringing to life an idea that had been brewing for years. It addresses the real-world challenges we've faced in our own data work, proving that sometimes the best products come from solving your own daily struggles.
