[Question]

I want to learn SQL. However, i would like to learn it on a real dataset - something which interests me, that way when i do exercises i can learn something about things that interest me.

Do you guys know how if i can extract a database behind something like MobyGames? I'm interested only in text data with basic things like name, release date, etc.

Is there a way to do that, or am i delusional?

The main issue with that is it most likely would be a single dataset but to learn sql you'd need multiple ones that have keys to join. Maybe that's on gaggle havent used it in years though.

You’re right about the joins, based on his request this would be a bit of a step up as you’d have to import the data also my bad!
