mySqlgame

mySQLgame is a computer game played entirely with SQL queries:

Are you tired of browser-based games that are thinly veiled interfaces for databases? Finally, there’s a game that just is a database!

THRILL as you insert your very own row in the “rows” table!

With careful selection of SQL queries, you will soon have three or even four-digit numbers in some of the fields in your row! Other queries may allow you to use those numbers to subtract numbers from rows entered by other players — all while pushing the numbers in your own row even higher!

As you master the game, you may find that you have inserted not just one row into the game, but several!

Database:

In computer science, a database is a structured collection of records or data that is stored in a computer system so that a computer program or person using a query language can consult it to answer queries. The records retrieved in answer to queries are information that can be used to make decisions. The computer program used to manage and query a database is known as a database management system (DBMS). The properties and design of database systems are included in the study of information science.
