Nice concept but I really hate clicking on the buttons to form my statements... Is it possible to allow typing? Also, not ending my statement with a semicolon feels incomplete.
- greggyb 7y agoI agree. I work in Microsoft's SQL Server (incl. variations, e.g. Azure SQL DW) quite a bit. Based on my experience, I am the only person using semicolons in T-SQL.
- throwaway_pdp09 7y agoI always try to use them. It's going to be mandatory says MS: "Although the semicolon isn't required for most statements in this version of SQL Server, it will be required in a future version."
- greggyb 7y agoThat has been the guidance for a loooooong time.
- sonofaplum 7y agoI agree with this. I would much prefer if there was a freeform query mode, where I could just type the queries without the buttons or hints.
- code_duck 7y agoI was trying to determine how to use a comma.
- doronlinder 7y agoYeah, the semicolon bothers me too. I'll see how I can incorporate that in. The clicking around was meant to make life easier on mobile phone users. I'll see if I can add a keyboard support without undermining this.
- geddy 7y agoThis makes a lot of sense, actually. Definitely great for learning. You could do it the way Duolingo does it - on desktop, it allows for "Hard Mode", where it lets you type the responses freely. On mobile however, it doesn't let you do that (unless you're using the app).
- randlet 7y agoYes! Part of learning a language, for me, is gaining muscle memory with my fingers and having to use a mouse is a turn off. Very cool site otherwise!
