As an RDBMS professional - I found this article quite engaging, although a bit old.

Hi!

I'm looking at manually entering quite a bit of relational data and I am wondering whether anyone knows of a nice GUI tool to do it?

What I'm looking at doing is something like matching up names with addresses. I have a table with a list of people, and I have a list of properties. I want to create a table where I could pair up people with properties. I would like the ID's to be entered into the Database, but I would like to see names and addresses on the front-end. Preferably when I click into the new relational table's columns it would give me an auto-complete list of possible values as I type. (So offer suggestions for names / addresses).

I'm looking for something web-based or MacOS / Linux compatible.

Does anyone know of such a tool?

I recently tried my hand at an advanced online SQL test for a io position. Time-trial, non-autocompleting IDE, no human interaction. I failed miserably (0%) and I am fine with it. I have prepared myself with StrataScratch and the Mode tutorial, on top of my experience in querying GA4 data in BQ and other data for finance, sales and operations. . Although the resources are good to familiarize with SQL functions and structuring queries, I still feel that I am missing some kind of mindset that would enable me to tackle SQL questions irrespective of complexity. I don't want to know necessarily the details, if it is hard for you to explain, but I would like to know if there is such a state of mind to achieve. Of course, any description and resource is welcome.

Obviously Microsoft Access is the best but it would be cool to hear your opinion.

Who doesn't love a good discussion about best practices? Here is an article from metabase on their recommended best practices for writing SQL. Share you opinion and recommendations.

Use SQL to query live data streams. Similar to Apache Fink and Kafka Streams.
