Hi

I wanted a website that has ample amount of SQL (SQL Server 2005 or 2008) related queries to practice at home

Please let me know if you have any idea about the same.

thanks

A: 

I'd suggest you to practice using Stack Exchange Data Explorer at http://odata.stackexchange.com

Select a StackExchange site and click Compose Query button.

What is Stack Exchange Data Explorer?

Stack Exchange Data Explorer allows you to run arbitrary SQL queries on the Stack Exchange family of sites, share those queries with your friends and explore interesting queries.

For more info, read the FAQ.

I think few people know about this great site.

Try this one: SQL exercises. The queries are of different difficult from easy to hardest.

where could i practice SQL Queries? I don't want Sample Database
Romil Nagrani
In order to practice queries the first thing you will need is data to run your queries on, hence the sample databases. After that just start reading about different sql statements and trying them out on your sample data.

i already have sample db and that too downloaded from site given. If i was able to "start reading........" i wouldn't had posted the question here.. I am looking for site that allows me to practice real world SQL statements, no matter whether that's online/offline
Romil Nagrani
have you tried the sql tutorials at w3shools?http://www.w3schools.com/sql/default.aspThey have a web tool that lets you practice queries against a small dataset they have provided.
